Death coverage of U.S. presidents in Hebraic newspapers: 1901-1945

The current qualitative text analysis investigates the journalistic death coverage of nine United States of America presidents (POTUS) from 1901 and 1945. This line of inquiry occurs in 617 volumes of 29 different Jewish-Hebraic newspapers published in Ottoman Palestine, British mandatory Palestine, Eastern Europe, northern Africa or United States since Benjamin Harrison died in 1901 until Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) passed away in 1945.Except for Grover Cleveland and Calvin Coolidge, the Hebraic press covered these death cases comprehensively and rather admirably. Doing so, it dedicated front pages, editorials, columns, telegrams, photographs and obituaries to the POTUS, while maintaining a somber and respectful tone and displaying an admiring narrative towards the presidents in particular and the United States (US) in general. In addition, the Hebraic newspapers presented the POTUS as global political agents who are supportive of the Jewish people, the Zionist movement and the idea of building a Jewish national home based on The Balfour Declaration in 1917 – to a certain degree. Notwithstanding, some newspapers offered mild criticism while addressing US domestic issues, as well as the POTUS's foreign policy, Jewish relations and Zionist support (or non-support).
