Abstract
Although seldom the subject of scholarly inquiry, the expatriate newspaper is rich in research possibilities. These papers are a laboratory for understanding the evolution of American journalism. In the interest of exploring these possibilities, our study looks at one of the most venerable expatriate newspapers, the Paris Herald, which James Gordon Bennett, Jr. created in 1887 and carries on today with a different name under the ownership of the New York Times Co. The focus of our study is articles of opinion—editorials, letters to the editor, and so forth—and the degree to which they express criticism of the United States. We find the amount and focus of criticism grew over time, a change that can be explained by the emergence of a diverse, globally-minded, English-speaking readership.
