News media’s framing of telehealth before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
  This research contributes to the literature on journalistic news framing by analyzing the portrayal of telehealth as a particularly relevant topic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Frames before and after the onset of the pandemic were examined across four news regions: Canada, Australia, the U.K., and the U.S.A.
