Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: U.S. journalists embedded in rural and agricultural communities could adversely affect the health of residents if they avoid alerting and engaging their readers - farmers, ranchers, and community members - on environmental and health issues. We expected reporters would maintain community status quo and inaction by framing local water pollution and quality issues neutrally deemphasizing threats and solutions to maintain their own credibility as unbiased informational sources.
UNASSIGNED: In a content analysis of local water quality newspaper articles from five farming and cattle ranching states in the west central U.S. Midwest, we employed seven variables to investigate whether journalists practiced neutral, detached forms of journalism (i.e. dissemination versus interpretative role enactment, government-frame) as well as whether they deemphasized water pollution as a concerning issue (i.e. problem, threat), water pollution solutions, and readers\' efficaciousness.
UNASSIGNED: The results showed these journalists relied heavily on government-driven narratives presenting water quality issues from an impartial, straight reporting lens in which they primarily followed the journalistic dissemination role enactment, while neglecting to provide readers with interpretative, threat, efficacy, or solution\'s information.
UNASSIGNED: The study seeks to help communicators understand the information diet people living in this part of the country likely receive on environmental and health risks in the context of water pollution. Communicators seeking to reach and affect audiences in this region should understand local information practices to navigate how to craft culturally specific public health messages.

摘要：
■嵌入农村和农业社区的美国记者可能会对居民的健康产生不利影响，如果他们避免提醒和吸引他们的读者-农民，牧场主,和社区成员-关于环境和健康问题。我们希望记者通过将当地的水污染和质量问题中立地置于不强调威胁和解决方案的框架下，来维持社区现状和无所作为，以保持自己作为无偏见信息来源的信誉。
■在对来自美国中西部西部五个农业和放牛州的当地水质报纸文章的内容分析中，我们使用了七个变量来调查记者是否练习中立，分离的新闻形式(即传播与解释性角色制定，政府框架)以及他们是否将水污染视为一个令人担忧的问题(即问题，威胁),水污染解决方案，和读者的功效。
■结果显示，这些记者严重依赖政府驱动的叙述，他们主要遵循新闻传播角色制定的直率报道镜头，而忽略了为读者提供解释性，威胁,功效,或解决方案的信息。
■该研究旨在帮助传播者了解生活在该国这一地区的人们在水污染背景下可能获得的环境和健康风险信息。寻求接触并影响该地区受众的传播者应了解当地的信息实践，以指导如何制作特定文化的公共卫生信息。
