| Abstract/Description: | This thesis explores race relations in Florida in the context of the 1968 election through newspaper articles and editorials; determining that newspaper editors and reporters as well as the candidates did not consider African Americans part of the debate on race relations, that editorial support for candidates stemmed more from their relationship with editors than their records, and that objective-style news reporting limited the amount of information voters received on issues. | |
