Reporting on cyclist crashes in Australian newspapers.

CONCLUSION: Australian newspapers tend to focus on the most dramatic and more 'newsworthy' aspects of cyclist crashes. Cycling advocates need to work with journalists to improve the quality of this coverage. IMPLICATIONS: Better communication between cycling advocates and journalists is likely to have a positive impact on the safety and the uptake of cycling in the community.
