Abstract

This study examined news sources and formats in relation to cultural competence indicators in 140 obesity articles in mainstream and ethnic urban newspapers. Through semantic network analysis, the research found that community and non-government sources and personalized news formats were most strongly associated with cultural competence. Ethnic newspapers pursued a culturally competent approach across all news formats and with their community sources, providing important health news to audiences who need it most.
