Description: "After Watergate: Nixon and the Newsweeklies, compares the coverage of Nixon in the three national newsweeklies, Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News & World Report, from his resignation from the presidency in August 1974 until his funeral in April 1994. This study quantitatively studies the periodicals' treatment of Nixon, and finds that each of the three sources had more than 80 percent of neutral assertions during the 20-year period under study."--Jacket.
