  • Title: Overturning anti-miscegenation laws: news media coverage of the Lovings' legal case against the state of Virginia.
    Author: Hoewe J, Zeldes GA.
    Journal: J Black Stud; 2012; 43(4):427-43. PubMed ID: 22834052.
    Abstract:
    This study fills a gap in scholarship by exploring historical news coverage of interracial relationships. It examines coverage by The New York Times, Washington Post and Times-Herald, and Chicago Tribune of the progression of the landmark civil rights case of Loving v. Virginia, in which the Supreme Court overturned Virginia's anti-miscegenation law, which prohibited marriage between any White and non-White person. An analysis of the frames and sources used in these publications' news stories about the case indicate all three publications' coverage favored the Lovings.
