Product Description:

Despite calls for the adoption of One-Health approaches, dog-bite injuries remain neglected in healthcare and public health. Media coverage can influence policy directions, including policies that address dogs. We collected articles (n = 65) published in two local newspapers, 20122017, then carried out an ethnographically-informed discourse analysis of the dog-bite reports. Newspapers portrayed bites mainly as matters of public disorder, as opposed to priorities for healthcare/public health.
