Abstract
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the news coverage of 3 election campaigns of the 1990s in which Asian American candidates were involved. The campaign stories from the LA Times, Seattle Times, and Oregonian were selected in the sample. Our investigation centered on fairness of the coverage and depiction of the candidates. Findings indicate that overall the coverage of the Asian American candidates, compared with their European American counterparts, is fair and balanced. However, the ethnic background of the Asian American candidates is more likely than their opponents to appear in the stories. Many stereotypical attributes about the Asian American candidates also exist in the stories examined.
