Abstract

This study of some 1,500 newspapers in presidential election years 1976, 1980, and 1984 finds that newspapers supported the Republicans about 80% of the time, yet group-owned newspapers did not do so more often than other newspapers. Chain-owned newspapers demonstrated more autonomy than has been found in some earlier studies.
