Description

The news media is a significant source of public opinions about a vast array of topics in society. The goal of the present research is to provide both a quantitative and qualitative understanding of the ways in which newspaper articles discuss the deviant phenomenon of cyber-bullying among middle school students in the United States. While researches have examined the characteristics of perpetrators and victims, impacts of cyber-bullying on both the victims and offenders, the development and application of law and the development of programs to stem cyber-bullying. studies examining the portrayal of cyber-bullying by news media outlets are rare.
