N2  - Sex trafficking has increasingly become a topic on the public and political agenda. This study revealed that coverage of sex trafficking in U.S. print and broadcast media from 2008-2012 was largely episodic, focused on crime and policy frames, privileged official sources, and neglected survivors' voices. However, findings suggest a shift toward thematic framing as the issue became more widely understood by the public and policymakers.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
