The Press and Authority: Portrayals of a Coach and a Mayor. Journalism Monographs No. 50.
Paletz, David L.; LaFiura, Dennis
This monograph investigates the relationship between media and personal authority. Specifically, the nature and possible effects of coverage by the Durham, North Carolina, "Morning Herald" of Duke University's former basketball coach, Raymond C. (Bucky) Waters, are compared to its treatment of a more conventional political figure--Durham's former mayor, R. Wense Grabarek. Comparison reveals the advantages and disadvantages that media coverage holds for authority figures in the worlds of politics and sports. (KS)
