This study examines music coverage in 1960s Time and Newsweek magazines, to determine whether pop/rock coverage surpassed classical coverage during the decade, and if so, when the shift in coverage occurred and whether it was sustained.
No prior studies on music coverage in 1960s Time and/or Newsweek magazines have been found. A content analysis was conducted using a stratified sample of one issue per month for each magazine from January 1960 to December 1969. The column inches were measured for each piece of music coverage, and the number of photos in each music-oriented article was counted.
The results showed that there were no statistically significant changes in the amount of rock/pop coverage compared to classical coverage, though there was an increase in the number of rock and pop stories near the end of the decade. Classical coverage remained the dominant music coverage through the 1960s.
