Values Changes Necessary for a Sustainable Society
Using qualitative historical observations in predicting the future
The Issues of the Sixties
This article relates news media coverage of major issues in the 1960's to public opinion and to the realities underlying those issues. It challenges some major assumptions—for example, that the media provide a useful picture of what is "really" going on—and discusses implications for policymakers and future research
