Abstract

All copies of the Milwaukee Leader were examined from July 18, 1936 to August 1, 1937, in an effort to determine how this daily paper handled stories of the Spanish Civil War during the first twelve months of civil repercussion. Not every edition of the Leader carried war stories, but every issue containing war news was noted, the column length measured in inches, and a comparative chart graphed indicating relation­ ship between the amount of straight news, pictures and editorials. Supplementary charts show the incidence of war news over a thirteen month period, and comparative analysis of war stories into straight news, features and summaries.
