Tiivistelmä: | Using a content analysis of two national and seven regional newspapers in the U.S. spanning over 25 years, this article studies the rise of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a public issue. The study included a comprehensive definition including all four CSR dimensions: economic, ethical, legal, and philanthropic. To examine media attention, media prominence, and media valence, newspaper editorials, letters to the editor, op-ed columns, news analyses, and guest columns were analyzed. The results showed that the amount of opinion pieces on CSR issues increased over the 25-year period and that each of the four CSR dimensions had its share of media prominence at different points of the 25-year period. Implications of the news media's role for business ethics research are discussed. |
