This paper analyzes the press coverage of several significant congressional events. Three dailies -- the New York Times, the Washington Post, & the Wall Street Journal -- & three weeklies -- Time, U.S. News & World Report, & Newsweek -- are utilized. Three distinct time periods are examined. The "Era of Neglect" typifies press coverage from 1946 until the mid-1960s. Press coverage from 1965 through the 1970s is described as the "Era of Discovery," while the "Era of Cynicism" characterizes press coverage from 1977 to the present. In examining these different eras, the paper illustrates the evolution of the press's congressional coverage. The paper argues that this evolution has been affected by events inside & outside Congress, & by changes within the media itself. K. A. Larsen

Executive privilege is the right of the president and high‐level executive branch officials to withhold information from those with compulsory power—Congress and the courts (and, therefore, ultimately the public). Because it is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution and also due to the occasional abuses of that power, executive privilege is controversial. Although few today question the constitutionality of executive privilege, there is considerable debate about its proper scope and limits. This article traces the historical development of the meaning and standards of executive privilege. The purpose is to show that disputes over executive privilege are best resolved through the normal ebb and flow of our separation of powers system and not through some statutory definition or precise court clarification of that power.
