Press coverage of the Spanish - American War in U. S. newspapers is often cited as the classic example of sensationalist and jingoist propaganda. This research approaches the reporting of this war as a form of colonial discourse that supported the ideology of imperialism at the turn of the century, and revealed a process of inscribing ethnic otherness on the colonized people of Puerto Rico. Through a textual analysis of news reports of the U. S. military occupation of the island in six metropolitan dailies, this study argues that the rhetorical modes used in news writing served to represent Puerto Ricans as subjects in need of continuing colonial administration. |
