Abstract
This study of press coverage of the 2000 presidential election campaign will examine whether or not news quality and quantity varied with regards to the size of the communities served by selected newspapers. The majority of the data for this research was collected from secondary sources. In addition, a content analysis of three newspapers published in a small community, a medium-sized community, and a metropolitan community was conducted to compare the agenda setting role of the press in three upper mid-west communities. The results of the research determined whether or not there were any notable differences in quality or quantity of coverage on the 2000 presidential campaign among the three newspapers.
