David Murray of the Statistical Assessment
Service, a media watchdog organization,...notes that...studies have cited
day care as a major contributor to the increase in childhood asthma in
recent decades. "Childhood asthma more than doubled between 1980
and the present, just as did the pattern of working parents choosing early

Asthma, Kids and Day Care: Reporting Facts or Hopes?

What accounts for the coverage gap (regarding the
negative effects of daycare by the media)? David Murray is a cultural
anthropologist who has taught at Brown and Brandeis universities. He
suspects that any research suggesting benefits about day care and children's
health is given prominent attention, at least in part, because it helps
reassure journalists that they're personally doing the right thing for their
children. Similarly, stories about problems with day care are
ignored or downplayed because they, in effect, tell journalists as well as
readers or viewers: You're bad parents. (Also, they tell
parents something they already know: It's not news that kids get the
sniffles at school or in day care.)
