Setting The Docket: News Media Coverage Of Our Courts – Past, Present And An Uncertain Future, Gene Policinski
Setting The Docket: News Media Coverage Of Our Courts – Past, Present And An Uncertain Future, Gene Policinski
Missouri Law Review
News reporting on the business of the courts and judiciary has a long history – and an uncertain future. Reporting on the courts has changed with the times, technology and tastes of the American press and of the public – the latter being the ultimate target of reports on the functions and the institution of our judicial system. News coverage of judicial proceedings at all levels, nationwide, may well have peaked – in quantity, quality and reach – in the early 1990s, when a declining economy kicked off dramatic cutbacks in newspaper news staffing, reductions later amplified by the drop …

Law Deans In Jail , Morgan Cloud, George Shepherd
Missouri Law Review
A most unlikely collection of suspects – law schools, their deans, U.S. News & World Report and its employees – may have committed felonies by publishing false information as part of U.S. News’ ranking of law schools. The possible federal felonies include mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, and making false statements. Employees of law schools and U.S. News who committed these crimes can be punished as individuals, and under federal law the schools and U.S. News would likely be criminally liable for their agents’ crimes. Some law schools and their deans submitted false information about the schools’ expenditures and …

The Impact Of News Coverage On Conflict: Toward Greater Understanding, Richard C. Reuben
The Impact Of News Coverage On Conflict: Toward Greater Understanding, Richard C. Reuben
Faculty Publications
This article develops an approach for the empirical study of the news media’s impact on the conflict that it covers. While mass communications research has studied how the news media covers conflict, it has not taken the next step of assessing the impact of that coverage. This article contends that such an inquiry is necessarily an inter-disciplinary task, and joins conflict theory with mass communications research to identify the kinds of questions that may be empirically tested to determine whether the news media is having a constructive or destructive effect on the conflict that it covers.

Press Coverage Of Interethnic Conflict: Examples From The Los Angeles Riots Of 1992, Shah Shah
Journal of Dispute Resolution
News media are an important source of cultural production and information. Their representation of the social world provides explanations, descriptions, and frames for understanding how and why the world works as it does. In media studies, "frames" refer to the perspectives on, or interpretation of, current events provided by news coverage. Frames are complex and overlapping, existing in a single news article or within an entire body of news coverage. Multiple and opposing frames may exist simultaneously. Frames are built up from the choices reporters make in terms of language use, source selection, and story organization. In their coverage of …

Changes In Conflict Framing In The News Coverage Of An Environmental Conflict, Linda L. Putnam, Martha Shoemaker
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article examines the role of media and conflict framing in four major turning points of an environmental controversy. In particular, it focuses on the media's role in defining the dispute and altering the naming and blaming among constituents during these turning points. It also examines how these changes relate to escalation and de-escalation of the conflict.
