http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122510532

The records document Consumers' Research's interest in the history, politics, personnel, and editorial stances of magazines and newspapers in the United States. Files were used for information on various publications' liberal or leftist politics, to keep track of media personnel, to prove media bias or incompetance, to document the influence of advertisers on publications and labor activities of the Newspaper Guild, and as evidence of the suppression of certain types of information. Included are correspondence, newspaper and magazine clippings, lists of magazines, publicity and subscription information, and correspondence with volunteers who clipped articles for CR. Magazine material concerns the Saturday Evening Post, Fortune, Nation, New Republic, Readers' Digest, Space and Time (an advertising publication), Time Magazine, magazines from a consumer standpoint including Newsweek and Business Week, and the magazine industry. Newspaper issues concern the New York Times, the Associated Press, William R. Hearst and Hearst publications, science news services, newspaper advertising and the American Newspaper Guild. There is also material on commercial pressures on the media. There is occasional correspondence between F.J. Schlink and editors. Subjects traced by the files include censorship, sex, race, social issues, communism, anti-communism, labor, information suppression, and advertising.
