Submission Title
Propinquity and News Coverage: The U.S. As Seen in Latin America
Location
CCI Auditorium, 321 Communications Building
Abstract
Propinquity theory is used to frame a pilot study examining the tone and frequency of U.S. coverage in Latin American newspaper websites. Results of a survey of U.S. news stories appearing in Latin American newspaper websites (n=211) did not find significant correlation between the tone of coverage of the U.S. and the frequency of that coverage. Results suggest, however, that repeating the survey with a larger sample might produce significant findings.
Power Point for my presentation.
