The Weekly War: Newsmagazines and Vietnam
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In The Weekly War, James Landers provides the first in-depth investigation of how the three major newsmagazines-Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News & World Report-covered the Vietnam War and the impact their coverage had on the American public, presidents, and policymakers. Each magazine had its own niche and distinct editorial style: Newsweek provided a mainstream liberal perspective, while Time took a more conservative viewpoint, and U.S. News & World Report had an ultraconservative outlook. This book reflects a thorough examination of roughly nine hundred articles on the Vietnam War published by the three major newsmagazines.
