Abstract
The uncertain and rapidly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has much of the world relying on news outlets for the latest public health information. The content of articles published by these news outlets may therefore have widespread and significant implications on public opinions, beliefs, and behaviors. This cross-sectional content analysis examined 630 unique news articles published in Minnesota, comparing message content from mainstream news outlets to that of local "ethnic" news outlets. The results of the study indicate that inclusion of contact tracing information may vary by news outlet type, and that positive framing was significantly higher in local "ethnic" news articles compared to mainstream articles.
