Abstract

This investigation explored and analyzed the coverage of foreign news events in Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report in 1960 and 1970. It specifically explored trends in ‘attention’ devoted to various geopolitical regions of the world, and various subject-matter and their related issues. Inter-magazine analysis showed no differences. However, cumulatively the three newsmagazines revealed some concrete trends:

(1) Dominance of World, West European and Asian affairs, and also of political/diplomatic, military/defense and economic/business affairs during the two periods.

(2) Persistence of ‘cold war’ and ‘cold war-related’ themes on the cover stories during the two periods.

(3) At the international level there was greater interaction between developed countries and least interaction between underdeveloped countries.
