Violence against the Press in U.S. History.

Nerone, John C.

Journal of Communication, v40 n3 p6-33 Sum 1990

Suggests that United States history contains many incidents of violence directed against news media and their personnel. Provides historical examples of four patterns of violent activity against the media: (1) personal assaults; (2) majoritarian; (3) antigroup; and (4) inclusionary violence. Notes a contemporary view of the media as mainstream and of nonmainstream speakers as "senseless." (SG)
