About Paper:

Technological advancements in the electric vehicle (EV) field leave many questions unanswered regarding equitable implementation and affordability. Frames in news articles can move the conversation and strengthen the discussion around particular aspects of EVs to influence the audience. By emphasizing certain EV topics, the media can set the agenda and therefore communicate to the audience which topics are most important regarding electric vehicles. Scholars have content analyzed media coverage of EVs in English-language newspapers in the United States, but no other languages have been researched in this diverse country. This study will analyze media coverage of EVs in a popular Spanish newspaper based in New York, El Diario de la Prensa, between 2017 and 2023. We will ask these questions: what is the general topic of an article surrounding electric vehicles? What frames are used when discussing electric vehicles? Within the article, is equity taken into consideration? How has the discussion of electric vehicles shifted through the years?
