The Tonya Harding Controversy: An Analysis of Image Restoration Strategies.
Benoit, William L.; Hanczor, Robert S.
Communication Quarterly, v42 n4 p416-33 Fall 1994
Analyzes Tonya Harding's defense of her image in "Eye to Eye with Connie Chung," applying the theory of image restoration discourse. Finds that the principal strategies employed in her behalf were bolstering, denial, and attacking her accuser, but that these strategies were not developed very effectively in this instance. (SR)
