de Uriarte, Mercedes Lynn. "Crossed Wires: U.S. Newspaper Constructions of Outside 'Others'--The Case of Latinos (with Implications for the 21st Century Newsroom)," American Studies Program, Yale University, March 1996.
This work examines U.S. press coverage of Latin America and U.S. Latinos from mid-1800s to 1990, measured against professional standards and ethics established by the 1947 Hutchins Commission, the 1968 Kerner Commission, and international documents. The work explores journalism education and contemporary newsroom culture with implications for the 21st century. U.S. foreign coverage began during 1846 war with Mexico: repeatedly revitalized through crisis, these early stereotypes permanently set the frame and conventions for coverage of the Latino third world—here defined by socio-economic realities, rather than as geopolitical sites. Drawing on history, sociology, case studies, qualitative and quantitative analysis, the thesis reviews the role of corporate media as a component of hegemony.
