The paper presents a survey of research literature on media coverage of social movements in the United States. It includes the antiwar movement of the 2003 Iraqi War and how that peace movement was covered by the news media.

An analysis of the media coverage of the Asian tsunami.

Abstract
This paper contends that, while many have argued that the media's coverage of the Asian tsunami has had a positive humanitarian effect, this is not entirely true. The paper explains that the media covered the tsunami because of its dramatic and profitable nature and, despite arguments to the contrary, the "CNN effect" is not the primary factor behind the aid donations, whether from governments or individuals. The paper claims that, in addition, it negatively impacted the organization and distribution of aid and humanitarian relief.
From the Paper
"The media is a profit making business and not a humanitarian one. Its aim is not to promote interest in the affairs of other people and countries or to communicate information about humanitarian and natural disasters that require action and attention. Instead, the media main guideline in selecting stories is whether or not they will attract the attention of viewers and increase rating. This might seem to be a very hard judgment against the media, especially when it played such a profound role in attracting global attention to the humanitarian disaster caused by the tsunami, significantly aiding the collection of donations but, according to media experts, this is a fair judgment. Interestingly, this is the judgment passed against the media by an American media corporation known as PBS."

A review of the factors that play a role in the media coverage of crime.

Abstract
This paper examines the validity of the hypothesis that crimes are largely covered in the media because they provoke public interest and a fascination with the macabre and that for this reason the majority of covered crimes tend to be violent in nature. It discusses whether factors such as victim characteristics, perpetrator demographics or other variables play a role in media coverage of crime.
Table of Content:
Introduction
The Effects of Crime, Victim and Defendant Characteristics
Other Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Though a number of cliched explanations for biased media coverage of crime stories exist, the findings of the relevant research elicit interesting, contrary results. It appears that the biggest predictor of media coverage may be the number of victims relating to the news incident, which one may interpret in relation to the popularity of violent crime: a story involving a large number of victims probably involves a high degree of violence. Many typical conceptions regarding media coverage, including influences from location, victim and defendant characteristics, and weapon demographics, seem doubtful. Evidently crime news in general is popular because the public are interested in the drama of it all - drama which may have little to do with the actual crime, as the media exaggerates crime stories and tends to portray them from the police's point of view. It is the human element of crime that draws in viewers, and it is human enterprise that is responsible for biased media coverage of crime."

Abstract
This paper examines the question of whether Tom Golisano, running as a third-party candidate for governor of New York in the past mid-term elections, received an appropriate degree of coverage in the region?s newspapers.The author counted the number of newspaper articles per candidate. The author concludes that, because of the relatively limited impact of third-party candidates, the amount of coverage that Golisano received was fair and appropriate.
From the Paper
"One of the important questions in American politics is why the two parties have so much power, in contrast to many nations in which numerous political parties are represented both in the government and in the national public political debate. One of the major differences between countries with two parties and those with a variety of political parties is, of course, the difference between a parliamentary system of government and our own, which does not encourage power sharing amongst different parties."

Abstract
This paper explains that it is not uncommon to question the accuracy of the content of news reports, especially in light of recent cases of fraudulent news reporting. The author points out the potential problem of media power and inequality representation as seen in the Michael Jackson molestation case. The paper exaimes news stories regarding the Jackson case including CTV News, "Maclean's Magazine", "The Toronto Star" and the UPI News Service.
From the Paper
"It is not uncommon to question the accuracy of the content of news reports, especially in light of recent cases of fraudulent news reporting. Not long ago New York Times reporter Jayson Blair was accused of repeatedly concocting specifics while covering the D.C. sniper story. How can a trusted professional make up information and publish it as fact? Public complaints regarding bias in the news has become a hot topic as one story after the other is found to be fraudulent (i.e. Janet Cooke of the Washington Post)."

Abstract

From the Paper
"This study will examine the media coverage of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The thesis of the study will be that the media was biased in its coverage of the riots, and that that bias was based on racial stereotyping.
The sources consulted for this study indicate clearly that there was substantial bias in the coverage of the rioting. That bias involved reporters' assignments, the power over who wrote the words of the stories filed, the description of the rioting and its participants, and, most importantly, an almost total absence of meaningful analysis of the deeper socioeconomic issues which gave rise to the rioting.
Ishmael Reed, in Airing Dirty Laundry, posits the theory that the media is rife with subtle and not-so-subtle racial bias ..."

Abstract

From the Paper
"The shootings and death at Columbine High School in Colorado in the spring of 1999 were in many ways a quintessentially American event. Not only did the events -? in which two high school students invaded their own school armed as if they were army commandos and slaughtered fellow students and teachers -? take place on American ground, but the incident spoke to wide-ranging cultural concerns already present in the United States.
This was not the first school shooting in the United States. Others have followed it since, but it received an almost dizzying amount of notice in the media. Perhaps this is because of the scale of the carnage, perhaps merely because it happened to come at the historical moment when Americans were beginning to be ready to deal with the consequences of their living in such a highly armed society. It could also be because it occurred as the..."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the implications of raw coverage in the media treatment of the 1990-1991 war in the Persian Gulf. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the issues of raw coverage of the conflict emerged, and then to discuss, with reference to other coverage of crises in recent history, subsidiary issues and larger questions that are raised as a consequence of such coverage.
An almost unique element of raw coverage in the Persian Gulf conflict arose with the onset of Allied bombing of military targets in Baghdad and assorted other sites in Iraq. It was an accident of circumstance that three major reporters from Cable News Network (CNN) were in the Al Rashid Hotel when, in the middle of the night on January 18, 1991, in Iraq, the bombing began. Using hotel-room telephones, Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett,..."

The document, "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System", says that medical error is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, taking more lives than motor vehicle accidents and breast cancer combined."

Post-911 Media Coverage on Terror, 2003.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, ever since September 11th, the United States' media has aided the government's effort to direct the public's attention away from important questions concerning native terrorism and the administration's failure to prevent the terrorist attacks on the United States, despite the information it had on these attacks, by focusing attention on Afghanistan and Iraq as threats to the United States security.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the Jordanian intelligence also reached such information and did tell the Bush Administration but the Administration did not take these tips seriously, either (Trifkovic). This failure and the names of the intelligence agencies and the agents themselves were all published in European newspapers following September 11th together with the accusation that the US government had been careless in its duty, but the only American newspaper that published that story was the International Herald Tribune (Trifkovic). Even so, the mainstream American media did not raise this important issue (Martin). As with the anthrax case, this shows that the mainstream media is considering the political position of the government and its image in front of the American public, instead of focusing on the right of the people to know such important information."

From the Paper
" The Vietnam conflict and the Persian Gulf War were landmarks in the evolution of media coverage of international conflicts. In Vietnam, where war was never officially declared, the press enjoyed greater freedom from military censorship than it had in previous engagements, such as the Korean War and World War II. In addition, the growth of television reporting in Vietnam made this the first war whose sights and sounds were quickly available in American living rooms. Though it may be an overstatement to credit the media with turning public opinion against American involvement in Vietnam, it is true that, by 1968, the Johnson administration's framing of the situation in southeast Asia was superseded by the media's influential conviction that the conflict was permanently stalemated. By the time of the Persian Gulf War, 24-hour-a-day, real-time coverage had become a reality.."
