- W2143189969 abstract "This paper compares the evaluative tone of New York Times war reporting from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq War to shed light on the relationship between public support for war, casualties, and the negativity of war news. We find that uncritical and patriotic war coverage was the exception rather than the norm even during the two world wars. Enemies are rarely vilified, and the moral virtues of “our side” are rarely praised. Instead, the morality of American involvement increasingly has been called into question over the past century, with levels of moral criticism peaking during the wars in Vietnam and Iraq. We also find that cues about the chances of eventual victory are closely shaped by events on the battlefield rather than the spin emanating from politicians on the home front. This paper also reveals for the first time how casualty rates influence the tone of war news, with counterintuitive results: we find that the evaluative tone of war news tends to be unrelated to American casualty rates, a finding that holds regardless of whether casualties are counted as cumulative deaths or marginal deaths, logged or unlogged. If the tone of war news remains unchanged as casualties rise and fall, then something other than mounting war deaths is likely to be responsible for observed dynamics in public support for the war. Paper prepared for the second annual Chicago Area Political and Social Behavior Conference at" @default.
