Abstract:

This study examines the abstracts and network news footage of 67 Mexican immigration stories from 1971-2000 available at the Vanderbilt News Archives. The author uses qualitative and quantitative methodologies guided by visual communication research, international news determinants studies, and theories about influences on news content. Forty-three percent of the datelines were on the Mexican-U.S. border; 11 0.000000rom Mexico, and 40 0.000000rom the United States. U.S. sources outnumbered Mexicans 3 to 1. One-third of the stories covered events or official announcements. Results of the qualitative footage analysis (photography, narration, and graphics) describe the growth of the border as a visual concept, changes and constants in portrayals of Mexican immigrants, the marketing of the Border Patrol via news media, and Mexican and U.S. sources in network coverage. Findings are reported in the historical context of 30 years of immigration legislation and trends.
