Examine three contemporary newspaper/magazine accounts of an historical protest act
by a dissenter and analyze how that person or event was reported at the time. For
example, after you read the account of Susan B. Anthonys 1873 trial in the Dissent in
America reader access the library databases listed in the DiA Library Guide and write a
2-page report on how at least three of the periodicals or newspapers (e.g., the New York
Times, Harpers, McClures, etc.) reported on Anthonys trial. Do the newspaper accounts
at that time reveal animosity or support for Susan B. Anthonys protest? What do the
media accounts show about attitudes toward womens rights in 1873?
