I selected the Biloxi Daily Herald Newspaper and researched how they covered the events that occured in late April of 1960. I examined ten different news stores by using these research questions.
1. Were the headlines biased against segregation, biased supporting segregation, or objective?
2. Did the majority of the stories run on page one above or below the fold?
3. Was the tone the writer used positive, negative, or neutral?
4. Were the first three paragraphs of the article positive, negative, or neutral?
5. Did the photographs presented depict violence or non-violence?
