Abstract

A report released by the WHO on October 26, 2015 linking red meat and processed meat to cancer received substantial attention in Spanish newspapers. Nevertheless, articles published subsequent to initial coverage of the health warning frequently downplayed its importance and cited the opinions of dissenting experts. This paper analyses the strategies employed by El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia and El Correo in their coverage on this topic during the three weeks following the release of the WHO report.
