Wartime Readership: The Correlation Between Newspaper Circulation Figures and War

Abstract: A 5 page discussion of the correlation between wartime events and newspaper circulation. Contends that there is an increased circulation associated with U.S. involvement in war but cautions that this increase may occur gradually over a period of months following the event. Questions whether it is newspapers and other form of the media which make the general public aware of and interested in an event such as an act of war in the first place, or whether it is the public's interest which inspires news coverage. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
