Smart grid coverage in U.S. newspapers: Characterizing public conversations

Abstract

An analysis of The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and The New York Times from 1998 to 2013 suggests that media coverage of smart grid issues focuses more on benefits than risks. Coverage peaked in 2009 with substantial federal-level investment in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. © 2014 The Authors.
