Yesterday's News: Media Framing of Hitler's Early Years, 1923-1924
This research used media framing theory to assess newspaper coverage of Hitler published in The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post between 1923 and 1924. An analysis of about 200 articles revealed “credible” and “non-credible” frames relating to his political influence. Prior to Hitler’s trial for treason in 1924, the credible frame was slightly more prevalent. Following his subsequent conviction, the non-credible frame dominated coverage, with reports often presenting Hitler’s failure to overthrow the Bavarian government as evidence of his lack of political skill. This research provides insight into the way American media cover foreign leaders before and after a tipping point—one or more events that call into question their political efficacy.
When the News Doesn't Fit: The New York Times and Hitler's First Two Months in Office, February/March 1933
This study examines the New York Times' news and editorial coverage of Hitler's first two months as German chancellor. While news stories and editorials are analyzed with respect to scope and bias, particular attention is also paid to the decision-making processes within the newspaper itself. An archival-driven methodology is used in conjunction with the more conventional product-driven one. Memoranda and cables between publishers, editors, and foreign correspondents are examined in addition to back issues of the newspaper itself.
Health-care practices of the rural aged.
1. One of the primary concerns of the rural aged is the maintenance of their physical health so that they may function independently and remain in their own homes. 2. The findings of this study indicate that most older rural adults do not regularly have positive health-care practices. This may be due to the unavailability of health-care providers or health promotion programs in isolated rural areas. 3. Implications of this study include the need to make health promotion programs relevant to the concerns of the rural aged rather than those of the urban elderly.
