Title
Anglos With Feathers: A Content Analysis of French and English Media Coverage in Québec on the Oka Crisis of 1990
Abstract
The author measured and compared the articles, editorials and letters to the editor that appeared in Montreal's The Gazette and La Presse during the 1990 Oka Crisis to determine which of the two newspapers was more sympathetic in its coverage to the Mohawk land claims demands. The author concludes that La Presse was less sympathetic than The Gazette towards the Mohawks, and that La Presse emphasized the need for law and order while The Gazette gave greater attention to the Aboriginal perspective. However, she maintains that both newspapers tended to have negative front page and editorial coverage.
