More Form than Substance
The mainstream U.S. news media have been shifting rightward for at least two decades, as their corporate owners enforce tighter ideological conformity. Oliver North and Pat Buchanan, for example, are now regular commentators on television talk shows. And all of the media now refer to people as "consumers," cogs in a capitalist machine. But still, news is less than half as profitable as entertainment, and media firms are intensifying pressures on …
Covering Cuba in a new light
In the United States, a small segment of the corporate sector owns virtually all information and communication systems. The corporate ownership of the mainstream U.S. news media ensures favorable coverage of major issues such as GATT and NAFTA. But the U.S. press has also overcome the virulent anti‐communism of U.S. culture, and even changed sufficiently to now support Vietnam and China. A similar transition seems to be occurring in the U.S. pres…

The German-American Radical Press
Outside the Frame
This article analyzes the print media’s ideological framing of the 1991 story of boxer Sugar Ray Leonard’s admission of having physically abused his wife and abused cocaine and alcohol. We examined all news stories and editorials on the Leonard story in two major daily newspapers and one national sports daily. We found that all three papers framed the story as a “drug story,” while ignoring or marginalizing the “wife abuse” story. We argue that s…
Framing Violence
News frames and media packages
This article studies the coverage of El Salvador in Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report from several months before the FMLN offensive of November 1989 to the peace accords of January 1992. The magazines are found to share a “media package” that depicts U.S. policy on El Salvador as well meaning. The range of views in the coverage corresponds to the range of views among ruling U.S. elites. Differences in coverage are connected to each new…
Corruptions of Empire
The author discusses his background, movie making, England travel, the U.S., and American politics
Media Decentralization
Dan Caspi offers comprehensive introduction to the Israeli mass media and fresh theoretical look at the role and function of free press in democratic society. Two major issues underlie this study, patterned after the pioneering work of Morris Janowitz on the community press in the United States: relations between social and communications systems and reciprocal relations among various mass media. Caspi's primary concern is to determine whether th…
