PEJ’s First Quarterly News Report

PEJ has released its first quarterly News Coverage Index report.

The Swamp sums it up: “The war in Iraq has ‘dwarfed’ all other subjects reported by American news media in the early months of this year, a new study shows, but most of the coverage — 55 percent of it — has centered on the political debate in Washington. Less than one third of the coverage — 32 percent — has focused on events in Iraq.”
