Abstract

<p> Long-term changes in the newspaper coverage of terms related to meteorology and disaster were examined using online search systems of four major newspapers in Japan from 1990 to 2020. It was found that the number of articles containing terms related to severe weather and disaster has increased. However, the trend of change is different according to terms. For example, the coverage of “gōu (torrential rain)” has increased significantly, while that of “shūchū gōu (localized torrential rain) has decreased. The coverage of meteorological terms that are not directly related to disasters tends to have remained unchanged or decreased.</p>
