From the author: This study analyzed contentiousness in nightly television network news stories involving the President. A content analysis examined ten days of nightly network news. Verbal contentiousness was found more prominent than visual contentiousness. The findings indicate that contentiousness may be the orientation of a news story about the President no matter his verbal message. This suggests that contentiousness is added by television news workers.
