Changing Embargoes and the New York Times' Coverage of the Journal of the American Medical Association

VINCENT KIERNAN

University of Maryland, College Park

A content analysis of coverage by The New York Times of medical research published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 1989, 1990, and 1991 indicates that coverage of JAMA increased by 50 percent after the journal's publication date was shifted from Friday to Wednesday in April 1990. This result illustrates the effectiveness of embargoed early access to journals as an information subsidy offered to medical and science journalists to attract news coverage of a journal.
