Abstract

This longitudinal study combines quantitative and qualitative techiques to document and explain the evolution of foreign news in the Chicago Daily News, the newspaper that virtually invented the ideal of a quality, professional American foreign news service. Foreign news at the newspaper began as an experiment and evolved over time, adapting to factors such as cost, ownership, competition, and the urgency of events abroad. This study, through its focus on change over time and on conditions that shaped change, attempts to articulate a dynamic, historical approach to studying foreign correspondence. © 2007 AEJMC.
