Note. Percentages of articles containing each suggestion: Each cell indicates the number of articles making the suggestion divided by the total number of articles. The “All Articles” column considers all 50 articles. The next column considers just articles that were coded as having White parents as the intended audience (either White parents were the implied intended audience based on the article’s content, or the article stated that its target audience was White parents). The final column considers only articles that were explicitly addressed to White parents. Some articles contained more than one suggestion; for this reason, sums of the columns exceed 100%.
