Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Scholars of social movements have long called attention to the differences between those protest events that gain media coverage and those that are not covered. However, although we know much about which protest events are covered in the media, we know considerably less about the differences in prominence among those events that do gain coverage. We extend the literature on mass media coverage of social movements by examining how event characteristics affect page location within a newspaper by examining protest events covered in the New York Times between 1960 and 1990. Using multinomial logistic regression, we develop an account of the editorial decisions regarding the placement of an event within the paper’s pages. We find that such decisions are most heavily influenced by the amount of conflict associated with the event (violence, property damage, arrests, and the use of contentious protest tactics). Importantly, we also find that larger events and those located in the nation's capitol are more likely to be placed on the front page, whereas corporate-targeted events are generally kept off of the front page. Overall we find that the Times editors tend to highlight disruptive protest, while downplaying anti-corporate claims-making.
