Abstract: This article provides a frame and textual analysis of coverage appearing in Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report of the 114-day 1962-63 strike of the International Typographical Union Local 6 against New York City newspapers. The strike was particularly important for asserting the union’s collective bargaining rights and establishing its stance on automated printing processes. Analysis of the newsweeklies’ treatment of the strike suggests how these outlets related the event in terms favourable to the newspaper publishers, while misrepresenting or disparaging the union’s position in and justification for the strike. Résumé : Cet article propose une analyse textuelle de la couverture médiatique de Time, Newsweek et U.S. News & World Report de la grève qui opposait l’International Typographical Union Local 6 aux quotidiens new-yorkais, conflit qui a duré 114 jours en 1962-63. La grève a été particulièrement importante dans l’affirmation des droits syndicaux à la négociation collective et dans le positionnement des syndicats face aux processus d’impression automatisés. Une analyse de la manière dont les hebdomadaires ont couvert la grève suggère que ces derniers ont relaté l’événement de manière à favoriser les éditeurs des journaux tout en déformant, voire en dénigrant, la position du syndicat sur la grève et sa façon de justifier celle-ci.

In 1941 while in New York City I was fortunate enough to purchase an Armenian MS. which I believe will be of interest to students of Eastern Christian iconography.
