Balance of Editorial Commentary in Four Florida Newspapers during the 1984 Presidential Campaign.

Logan, Robert

Newspaper Research Journal, v8 n3 p71-81 Spr 1987

Suggests that editorial sections in some newspapers may be more internally balanced in their political commentary than previously believed. (JD)
