No full textThe attitude of the "Atlanta Constitution" on the Negro question, 1886-1889, 1939
No full textThis study seeks to show the editorial attitude of the Atlanta Constitution on the Negro question 1886-1889, with special emphasis upon social, political, economic, religious and educational questions. The years 1886-1889 were chosen because it was during this period that Henry Woodfin Grady was actively associated with this paper in an editorial capacity. He was at this time hailed throughout the country as the exponent of the New South. The newspaper career of Grady started while he was a student at the University of Georgia. He wrote a gossipy letter and contributed it to the Atlanta Constitution. The editor saw from this letter the future possibilities of Grady as a writer. From that time on he wrote regularly for the Constitution. In 1886 Grady bought an interest in the Atlanta Constitution . It was under Grady's direction that this paper attained the fame which it has since so well maintained

The attitude of the Atlanta Constitution toward the independence of Cuba, January 1899-June 1902, 1937
No full textThis is the continuation of a study made by Dorsey Walker, entitled The Attitude of the Atlanta Constitution on the Cuban Crisis 1898-1900. This study, like his, places special emphasis upon sectional, racial, economic, and political questions. An analysis of the Constitution is all the more valuable because through S. L. Beckwith, the paper's correspondent in Cuba, was given a day by day report of events on the island. This study may perhaps be not without importance because of the fact that Joseph E. Wisan in his study limited his analysis to the New York Press and goes only to 1898
Atlanta's reaction to the first black mayor, Maynard H. Jackson, as seen through its major newspaper, The Atlanta Constitution, 1990
Get PDFThis thesis investigates the reaction to Maynard H. Jacksons election as the first black mayor of a major southern city, Atlanta, through selected articles of its major newspaper, The Atlanta Constitution, covering the period of Jacksons announcement of his candidacy through the end of his first two years in office. This particular paper was chosen because it was the dominant day-time newspaper and because of its moderate viewpoints and its emphasis on political news. While The Atlanta Constitution was aware of race as a factor, it was able to be objective in its treatment of Jackson. For example, the articles did not elaborate on Jacksons race, but rather his qualifications and platform which made him eligible to be mayor of Atlanta.
