Abstract:
|
Content analysis of network television newscasts and of the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post during the first year of the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush revealed a heavy focus on the executive branch rather than the legislative and judicial branches. Tone of coverage of the executive branch was consistently less negative than coverage of the legislative branch during the first year of these three presidencies, as was the case in network television coverage. |
