Thesis (Ph.D.)--Washington State University, 1998.

This dissertation compares the editorial career of Samuel Day, Jr., to what media scholar Pamela Shoemaker suggests about influences on media content. Day produced that content for many years, and the body of his work provided a means of testing whether Shoemaker's hierarchical theory seems to fit the individual reporter. In the case of Day, at least, it did not. The fact that Day did not hold any job for very long, however, and that the publications he worked for tended to struggle, suggests Shoemaker's model may be more valuable as a predictor of whether a publication or reporter will succeed in the long run, rather than of the actions they will take in given cases.

520 $a This dissertation compares the editorial career of Samuel Day, Jr., to what media scholar Pamela Shoemaker suggests about influences on media content. Day produced that content for many years, and the body of his work provided a means of testing whether Shoemaker's hierarchical theory seems to fit the individual reporter. In the case of Day, at least, it did not. The fact that Day did not hold any job for very long, however, and that the publications he worked for tended to struggle, suggests Shoemaker's model may be more valuable as a predictor of whether a publication or reporter will succeed in the long run, rather than of the actions they will take in given cases.
520 $a Over the course of thirty years, Day evolved from what he later described as "a good military propagandist" to a decidedly undiplomatic left-wing editor. In 1979, as managing editor for the Progressive, Day fought the federal government, which in the name of "national security" went to court to prevent the magazine from printing an article about the H-Bomb. Before that, he spent most of his journalism career in Idaho, where he served as an Associated Press newsman, as an investigative reporter, and as editor of what he turned into an activist weekly newspaper. His work became progressively less objective, more politically active, and more concerned with nuclear issues.
520 $a A number of social and political influences apparently contributed to Day's evolution from "unbiased" reporter to activist editor, and this dissertation discusses how his writing style and where he chose to work reflected or departed from the mood and/or activities of what might have been expected. It also considers the importance of various outside influences, while attempting to determine what actually shaped the editorial activities of one man. For Day, the work became increasingly political; in fact, he became too political to continue the work.
