Television's Living Room War in Print: Vietnam in the News Magazines.
Patterson, Oscar, III
Journalism Quarterly, v61 n1 p35-39,136 Spr 1984
Reviews sample of weekly news magazines from period 1968-1973 and concludes that topic of Vietnam did not dominate the copy printed. Magazines did not concentrate on American troops in battle, thus giving the American people constant pictorial accounts of the war, and coverage did not become more bloody between 1968 and 1973, thus causing a shift in public opinion.
