Abstract
According to Bennett's indexing hypothesis, the range of voices and viewpoints in news and editorials is “indexed” to “the range of views expressed in mainstream government debate about a given topic.” This seems particularly true in news concerning U.S. foreign policy goals and practices. This article suggests that journalism in the post‐Cold War environment has greater latitude in including dissident voices and ideas that previously would have been “marginalized” from the mainstream press. Two comparative case studies are offered in support of this argument. We also expand on the notion of “news icons” as vehicles for the introduction of previously marginalized issues.
