Abstract
This content analysis examines nine major metropolitan daily newspapers to determine how they portrayed African American and white members of the United States House of Representatives from 1979 to 1983. Discriminant analysis reveals that in several areas of press portrayal, newspapers differentiate the way they present African American and white political incumbents.Keywords
