About this title

Synopsis

Media Bias? addresses the question: To what extent can mainstream news media be characterized as _conservative_ or _liberal_? The study involves a systematic comparative analysis of the coverage given to major domestic social issues from 1975 to 2000 by two mainstream newsmagazines, Newsweek and Time, and two explicitly partisan publications, the conservative National Review and the liberal Progressive.
