Time Magazine Covers 1994 v 2006

Brian Zick November 13, 2006

Media Matters juxtaposes two Time Magazine covers. One was from the edition following the 1994 congressional elections, whereby Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate; the other is from the issue published following the 2006 congressional elections, in which Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. There is rather a monumental difference in character, emotional emphasis, and quality of information on display, in editorial choices made for cover art and headline.
