Using a quarter-century of content analysis data, the authors demonstrate how the White House dominates Capitol Hill on every dimension of news coverage, undermining Congress’s attempt to compete as an equal branch before the public.

Political identity, a new measure of partisanship and independence known as the Partisan Supporter Typology, was used as an important contingent condition for political communication effects. Hierarchical regression was used to assess the relative contribution of political identity, other political predispositional factors, and media use in the time voting decisions were made. Results indicated that most or the explained variance at the time of final vote decision could be explained by political identity and predispositional variables, such as political activity and caring which party wins the election.

The Interactive Effects of Media Use and Attention: Political Knowledge and the Partisan Supporter Typology

It was hypothesized that persons with different political orientations would have significantly different media use and attention patterns. The data analysis proceeded in two stages. The first phase involved factor analyzing the various political media attention and interest questions into a set of summary variables that could be used subsequently in an interactive multiple regression model. The second phase involved designing a hierarchical multiple regression equation to help understand the relative contribution of each independent variable to the prediction of the dependent variable, political knowledge. The results show that a person cognitively engaged with the political system, as expressed in a definite political orientation, is likely to know more about politics and be better equipped to learn more readily from political media. The data also added evidence that attention is an important variable in the process of learning from the mass media, and that political identity in terms of partisan support helps in predicting political knowledge.

A sample of 506 randomly selected persons from the Society of Professional Journalists was mailed a questionnaire, from which 190 responses were subjected to factor analysis. Path modeling was selected as the analysis strategy. Findings showed that individual journalists do view professional prizes as part of the normative occupational behavior, that journalists do differentiate between professional and nonprofessional reward systems, that journalists see prizes as a means of "getting along" and "getting ahead" within the occupation, and that organizational prize activities have an impact on the individual's prize-seeking behaviors that is independent of individual level variables. (Tables of findings and the questionnaire are appended.) (EL)

Framing analysis: An approach to news discourse

In the American political process, news discourse concerning public policy issues is carefully co... more In the American political process, news discourse concerning public policy issues is carefully constructed. This occurs in part because both politicians and interest groups take an increasingly proactive approach to amplify their views of what an issue is about. However, news media also play an active role in framing public policy issues. Thus, in this article, news discourse is conceived as a sociocognitive process involving all three players: sources, journalists, and audience members operating in the universe of shared culture and on the basis of socially defined roles. Framing analysis is presented as a constructivist approach to examine news discourse with the primary focus on conceptualizing news texts into empirically operationalizable dimensions-syntactical, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures-so that evidence of the news media's framing of issues in news texts may be gathered. This is considered an initial step toward analyzing the news discourse process as a whole. Finally, an extended empirical example is provided to illustrate the applications of this conceptual framework of news texts.
