Since his first article in 2014, the WB has featured in 24% (22\/89) of newspaper articles compared with 20% (18\/89) for doctors defending the official guidelines (P = 0.52). Since his first appearance on a TV newscast in 2014, the WB has appeared in 45% (22\/49) of news reports on LD with 24% of the speaking time compared with 22% (11\/49) for doctors defending the official guidelines (P = 0.018).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Media coverage of LD has been unbalanced since 2014 and promotes associations as well as the WB, who seems to be better identified than any of the different doctors defending the official guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckz198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,8]],"date-time":"2019-10-08T08:12:40Z","timestamp":1570522360000},"page":"475-481","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Emergence of Lyme disease as a social problem: analysis of discourse using the media content"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Cl\u00e9lia","family":"Pascal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department, CRIOA, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, France"},{"name":"UMR CNRS 6023, Laboratoire Microorganismes: G\u00e9nome Environnement (LMGE), Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jocelyne","family":"Arquembourg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sciences de l\u2019Information et de la Communication, Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Nouvelle \u2013 Paris3, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Vorilhon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice, Institut Pascal, CNRS, SIGMA Clermont, Clermont Auvergne University, Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Lesens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department, CRIOA, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, France"},{"name":"UMR CNRS 6023, Laboratoire Microorganismes: G\u00e9nome Environnement (LMGE), Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020072014164732200_ckz198-B1","first-page":"46","author":"Chateauraynaud"},{"key":"2020072014164732200_ckz198-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.3406\/polix.1991.1477","article-title":"L\u2019\u00e9mergence et la transformation des litiges: r\u00e9aliser, reprocher, r\u00e9clamer","volume":"4","author":"Felstiner","year":"1991","journal-title":"Polix"},{"issue":"22","key":"2020072014164732200_ckz198-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.4000\/edc.2342","article-title":"L'approche constructiviste des \u00ab probl\u00e8mes publics \u00bb.
