Total articles published for Bangladesh Rwanda and South Africa

We analyzed each country’s leading national English-language newspaper: Bangladesh's The Daily Star, Rwanda's The New Times/The Sunday Times, and South Africa's Sunday Times/The Times. We searched the electronic archives of each country’s newspapers described above from January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2013. We chose a January 1, 2008 start date because the searchable online archive of South Africa’s Sunday Times only goes as far back as January 1, 2008. We searched for articles on maternal health (including family planning) using the strategy detailed in Appendix A. The collected articles were entered on an Excel spreadsheet.
