Riot News

The Press, the Spread of Opinion, and Demogeographic Self-Interest

Marilyn M. Rosenthal

University of Michigan-Dearborn

Using material collected in the aftermath of the 1967 Detroit ghetto outburst, this study attempts to establish a correlation between the demographic characteristics of a community, its geographic proximity to a large black population, and the manner in which riot-related news was presented in a selection of suburban newspapers. The self-interest of competing groups appears to influence both the selection of "news" and the manner in which it is presented to reading publics.
