An Exceptional Exception


Seattle Times article, 1968 (7)
      Though so much of the media followed these patterns, it is not to say that all papers lacked good coverage of the Panthers. A particularly excellent example of reasonable reporting comes from a 1968 Seattle Times article about the Panthers' call for a Black Studies program at the University of Washington. The article sights student Panthers as well as their critics and is well balanced. The story even prints the demands of the Black Panthers (7). Though these stories were few and far between in the main papers, they could be found.
