This study uses content analysis to examine Pravda's coverage of the Chernobyl nuclear accident against the background of both Western and Soviet scholarship on the Soviet press in order to understand better the role of Pravda in the early days of glasnost. To provide a basis for comparison of the paper's coverage of Chernobyl, the study also examines Pravda's coverage of the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, and The New York Times coverage of both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. The study found that for four days, despite glasnost, no news of the nuclear accident in Chernobyl was published by Pravda. However, there was also a four-day delay in the paper's coverage of Three Mile Island. Furthermore, the study found that The New York Times gave earlier and greater coverage to the nuclear accidents at both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. |
