Abstract
We examine the role of mainstream media in institutional maintenance through a longitudinal analysis of media coverage of consumer debt in the period leading up to and during the global financial crisis. Our findings suggest that institutional maintenance in the media occurs through two primary mechanisms: the selection of actors included in the debate and the salience given to issues over time. Our analysis contributes to research on institutional work by highlighting the role of large collectivities of actors in processes of institutional creation, maintenance, and disruption.
