Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This analysis assesses the indexing hypothesis in the domain of the minimum wage. While most studies of indexing have focused on foreign affairs over a limited time period, this project makes use of a domestic issue that has dominated the political landscape since the time of its inception in the late 1930s. I code all content relevant to the minimum wage appearing in both news stories and editorials in the \emph{New York Times} between 1946 and 2003. I find that while Washington politicians generally dominate policy debate, other voices do receive coverage in the news and that certain arguments are more dominant in some periods than in others. I also examine whether the content of news stories and editorials matter for public policy, whether changes in the wage were predicted by the media or by other forces. I find that the presentation of arguments for and against increasing the minimum wage is a significant predictor of policy change.
