Post-assassination Newspaper Editorial Eulogies: Analysis and Assessment.
Goldzwig, Steven R.; Sullivan, Patricia A.
Western Journal of Communication, v59 n2 p126-50 Spr 1995
Analyzes postassassination newspaper editorials eulogizing John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. Argues that they fulfill four rhetorical functions: providing a public space for symbolic catharsis, celebrating individual virtues and mythic constructions of those virtues, attempting to reknit communal bonds, and calling for action.
