Data construction • Using content analysis data gathered by Ferree, Gamson, Gerhard, and Rucht (2002) on the development of abortion discourse from 1962 to 1994, I was able to build such network data. They have looked sample of New York Times and LA Times identified eight “frames” as well as 315 subsets of idea-elements, such as “abortion is murder” and “women have a right to self-defense” spoken by over 2000 different political actors including journalists, interest groups, politicians nested in 128 different organization.
What should we expect from the data? • We should see more networking activities (i.e. idea sharing activities) over time. • We should see more networking activities across different types of actors over time. • Interest groups of both side should first become central in the discourse network. • Politicians other actor should become central in the networks later. • We should see more meaningful clusters of actors developing over time.
