This research explores the relationship between Native American newspapers and tribal sovereignty. By means of a content analysis of more than a thousand environmental stories in four tribal newspapers in Wisconsin, interviews with Native American journalists, and discussions with Indian focus groups, the study examines the themes and values tribal journalists and their readers attach to sovereignty. The research suggests that Native newspapers are an important source of information about sovereignty for Native Americans. It also finds that cultural values and themes that reinforce sovereignty emerge from Native news reports about the environment.
American newspaper coverage of the great meteor storm of 1833 provides an opportunity to observe that era's science journalism in action. The results are surprising. Newspapers in this period from the Revolution to the Civil War focused almost entirely on politics and were highly partisan, with little concern for local happenings and even less for science. Yet confronted with a completely unexpected celestial spectacle that had substantial scientific implications, most newspaper editors rose to the occasion by adopting uncharacteristic practices. They sought out observers and got interviews. They published letters from witnesses. They consulted scientific texts and printed explanations from scientists. Most editors tried to keep their articles factual, although their political stories h...

This research explores more than 1,534 published letters to the editor and 2,197 editorials in ten African-American newspapers from October 29, 1929, the day when the stock market crashed, through October 29, 1930. During this one-year period, African-American readers and editorial writers discussed and debated vital issues, attempted to make sense of the rapidly changing world, and created a sense of community on the editorial pages of their newspapers. This study, which examined papers from South, East, and West as well as the "Promised Land" of the North, is important because the largely unfiltered voices of black letter writers from 1929-30 are heard as they grappled in print with life and racism, pleaded their own causes, worked out their identities, and expressed their worries abo...
It is sad. Sadder still is that few in the general public even seem to be taking notice of the loss of quality reporting across the state and nation. The Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune reportedly have downsized their staffs. The Detroit News, the Detroit Free Press and countless smaller papers across the state have as well. This is an enormous blow to our collective freedom and our democracy. The great news reporter, Walter Cronkite, remarked, "Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy. How can we have "freedom of the press" when it appears to be a dying institution in America today? In a democracy, we need journalists to hold government accountable. An independent, experienced and competent press is v...
NBJC's advertisements urge African Americans to reject injustice and discrimination and to oppose conservative attempts to tamper with state constitutions and the Constitution. The ads feature pro-marriage equality statements from Coretta Scott King, Rep. John Lewis and the Hon. Willie Brown. The first round of NBJC's ad campaign will reach 500,000 African Americans in the following markets and newspapers: Los Angeles (Sentinel, Wave), Baltimore/Washington D.C. (Informer, Afro-American), Atlanta (Voice, Daily World and Inquirer) and Detroit (Michigan Chronicle). We will not stand idly by and allow discrimination to be written into the Constitution of the United States or the constitutions of any state in America," said Mandy Carter, an NBJC board member and chair of its Grassroots Mobi...
As blogs have become increasingly popular, newspapers have attempted to adapt by incorporating the casual, amateur-appearing blogs into their online products.5 In 2007, the Gannett Company announced it planned to redesign operations at its 90 American newspapers in order to involve readers in newsgathering and use more reader-created citizen journalism in their online newspapers.6 Many both within and outside the newspaper industry have raised questions about the credibility of journalistic products created by non-professionals. [...] the study used students in communications classes, many of whom may be inclined to be more knowledgeable about the issues being studied than would students in classes in a variety of subjects.
This study sought to verify conventional wisdom that the presence of ethnic journalists-Asian Americans in this case-results in more and better coverage of ethnic groups in a community. Nine newspapers were analyzed from communities with varying Asian American populations and geographic regions. Newspapers with more Asian American staff provide more stories about Asian Americans. Likewise, newspapers in cities with larger Asian American populations have more Asian American staff and cover Asian Americans more. The impact of Asian American staff on coverage was greater than that of Asian American population. The influence of Asian American staff was found in sourcing, substance, and context of stories.
