Abstract

The Supreme Court regularly makes decisions with profound policy implications, but it largely leaves it to others to shape public opinion regarding those policies. The media play an important role in framing the Court's decisions, yet few studies have examined media coverage of the Court. It is quite possible that not all media frame the Court's decisions in the same way. We analyze the Black and mainstream presses' coverage of the Court's 1995 Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Federico Pena, Secretary of Transportation, et al. decision on affirmative action and find systematic differences between the two types of newspapers.
