This article analyzes the changes that occurred in the print media's coverage of events relating to Japanese-Americans during the period between the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Japanese-American internment, from 1941- 1942. Several large newspapers from this time period are examined to test the hypothesis of the "guard dog" function of the press in times of political upheaval.
