Replication data for: The Supreme Court and Issue Attention: The Case of Homosexuality

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

Previous studies have shown that a small number of Supreme Court decisions that “rearrange[d] the . . . distribution of political benefits” have drawn the media’s attention to the underlying issues involved in those cases.

Description

This article provides an additional test of that empirical claim, examining the effects of the Supreme Court’s gay rights cases on media coverage of homosexuality from 1990 to 2005. The data indicate that Supreme Court decisions that expanded the scope of gay rights increased coverage of homosexuality in both The New York Times and USA Today, while cases that affirmed the existing scope of gay rights had no such effect.
