The Relationship between Censorship and the Emotional and Critical Tone of Television News Coverage of the Persian Gulf War.

Newhagen, John E.

Journalism Quarterly, v71 n1 p32-42 Spr 1994

Analyzes television news stories broadcast during the Persian Gulf War for censorship disclaimers, the censoring source, and the producing network. Discusses results in terms of both production- and viewer-based differences. Considers the question of whether censorship "works" in terms of unanticipated results related to story negativity, intensity, and critical treatment of the sources. (SR)
