NARRATING JACKSON STATE: AN EXAMINATION OF POWER RELATIONS AND MISSISSIPPI NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF THE 1970 SHOOTINGS AT JACKSON STATE COLLEGE A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies at The University of Mississippi by LESLIE M. HASSEL April 2014 Copyright Leslie M. Hassel 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The following thesis examines media coverage of a 1970 campus shooting at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi, during which two black students were killed and several others were injured. Over forty years after the shootings, the incident remains largely absent from the dominant historical narrative. This study posits that the contradictory accounts published by various Jackson-area news outlets blurred the lines between facts and subjective perspectives and as a consequence limited the resources used by historians to construct a narrative of the shootings.
