Abstract
A content analysis of U.S. television news reports about Mexican President Vicente Fox from January 2001 through March 2005 explored the main visual themes and the presence or absence of visual stereotypes. Lack of coverage and a neighborly theme corresponded to U.S. political priorities. Flattering television portrayals of Fox were sandwiched between violent images of Mexico.
