Ron, 

Below I've pasted in a chart from one of my presentations I did on the
Oakland Tribune's coverage ( I didn't  want to send an attachment to the
list but would be happy to send the WORD document to you directly if you
would like).    In this  part of the study I was looking at how different
groups described  AAVE and its history( the descriptors were taken   from
quotes and paraphrases in the Oakland Tribune starting from  when the
media began reporting the Oakland Ebonics Resolution and going for a full
year after).
