Abstract
This study measures and discusses the comparative coverage of a domestic political event by selected local and foreign newspapers. The conjoint influences of political ideology, state-state, and state-press proximate and non-proximate relations on news selection and treatment are also examined. A strong tendency to select and treat events on the basis of state-state proximate conditions was particularly noteworthy among the foreign newspapers. The local newspapers' coverage appear to be patterned more by state control of the press and privatepress management of conciliation. One major difference between foreign and local coverage is attributed to differential press conformity; one voluntary, the other forced. The latter suggestion has implications for theory.
