This thesis was designed to determine readers'.perceptions of the Marion Chronicle-Tribune's coverage of the 197E Marion teachers' strike.An attitude questionnaire was sent out to a random sample of the newspaper's subscription list. Of the 972 instruments mailed, 199, or 23.6 percent, were returned properly and used as data.Participants' responses were analyzed by program QUANAL. The analysis produced three subscriber types. Type I was conservative, pro-Chronicle-Tribune; Type II was labor oriented; and Type III was undecided. A multiple regression test of the demographic factors, age, sex, level of education, annual income, whether respondent was labor or management, and the amount of time a respondent read the Chronicle-Tribune daily, yielded no relationship with the reason why a respondent was identified with one of the three types.The researcher concluded that subscribers perceived coverage on the basis of the issues, and not according to what stereotypes they may have held.

Planners can have the best ideas and the most progressive projects in the world. But if the local newspaper doesn't write about them, nobody will know about them. And if nobody knows about them, they might as well never have been done. Newspaper reporters and planners are going through a drastic change in their historically distant relationship. Increasingly, television news, USA Today and the Internet have replaced newspapers as the prime source for international and national news. Newspapers are now concentrating on local news. This is a golden opportunity for planners to not only raise the clout of their agency, but increase public support for their ideas. More coverage means more media scrutiny of planning issues. Understanding basic newspaper processes, and maintaining positive relationships with newspaper reporters, is a growing part of a successful planner's job. / Department of Urban Planning
