چکیده
GENERAL COMMENTS First, I would like to compliment the authors on their research – understanding how the general public is exposed to important health issues through mass media is a key step towards the development of health communication and interventions to promote healthy behavior. I like that the authors recognized the variation in scope and reach across newspapers, and discussed the findings according to newspaper type. I think this paper would be a useful contribution to the literature, and I hope the authors follow up with the research mentioned in the discussion.
