The transitional media system of post-communist Bulgaria
Article Abstract:
Bulgaria celebrated its 150th anniversary of journalism in 1994 and a study examines the development of the Bulgarian media system in the first five years after the fall of communism. Information is based on interviews with those in the Bulgarian media, media surveys, an examination of the Bulgarian press from 1990-1995 and individual journalists' columns on media developments in two publications. It includes projections for the future including the expectation by Bulgarian journalists that the number of newspapers will fall within the next five years, that new publications are likely to be politically independent and that the Bulgarian media system will be westernized in 20 years.

Journalists, framing, and discourse about race relations
Article Abstract:
The public addresses, correspondence and writings of five journalists likely contributed to race relations between black and white Americans in the late 19th century. This was gleaned from an examination of the racial values and attitudes present in the discourse of these leading newspaper editors during the period. New York Tribune editor Whitelaw Reid, Louisville Courier Journal editor Henry Watterson and Atlanta Constitution editor Henry Grady helped reinforce whites' superior attitudes toward blacks and contributed to the indifference among whites toward African American concerns.

Objectivity revisited: a spatial model of political ideology and mass communication
Article Abstract:
The spatial theory of decision making, which explains political and economic behavior, can be applied to the field of mass communication. The results suggest that mass media organizations are positioned in the middle of the ideological spectrum of their audience. The audience members select news media using the spatial model as a criteria. This notion is used by the mainstream news media that seek to maintain a position close to the median news consumer for attracting large audiences.
