dc.description.abstractThis dissertation examines contemporary U.S. press coverage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution through six selected dailies between October 1956 and March 1957. The newspapers are the Atlanta Constitution , the Christian Science Monitor , the Los Angeles Times , the Milwaukee Journal , the New York Times and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . The study seeks to find out if the American press, like the Eisenhower government, was caught by surprise at the news of the outbreak of the Hungarian revolution. The author studies the six dailies' coverage of Hungary before, during, and after the revolution, including their handling of the diplomatic implications of the uprising and the refugee problem. Another question to answer is whether the New York Times always provided the best news stories under all circumstances, as one would generally assume. Or perhaps the Christian Science Monitor surpassed the Times in certain respects? Another task of the study is to find out if the four regional dailies were always far behind the two prominent international newspapers. Is it possible to establish certain political and geographic patterns of the periodicals based on their coverage of the Hungarian events? Did the attitude of the papers toward the Eisenhower government change during the seven months of the period researched?
