Abstract:

The institution of the Press in the United States has had parallel growth with growth of the country and government. Initially the media presented a broad spectrum of viewpoints, but economic pressures and consolidation have served to narrow this spectrum. There is growing concern that objectivity has been a casualty in this process. Therefore an examination of the causes of bias and non-objectivity was indicated. The resultant findings are discussed.
