Having The Last Word, But Losing The Culture Wars: Mainstream Press Coverage Of A Canceled Evangelical Benediction, Rick Moore
Rick Clifton Moore
This study examines how mainstream news media reported the withdrawal of a popular pastor from the 2013 Obama inaugural ceremony.

As Predicted: Fact And Improbability In News Coverage Of Astrology, Rick Moore
Rick Clifton Moore
This study examines a recent eruption of news about astrology. It uses as a lens research on how traditional news values might allow “mystical” ideas to maintain public acceptance in spite of scientific evidence against them. Contrasting that approach with a lens provided by Neil Postman, the current study finds reporting about astrology did not provide significant scientific basis for dismissal of the belief. The two lenses for discussing this provide very different insights, however.
