Palin´s coverage dwarfs Biden´s

Since her selection as McCain´s running mate, Palin has dominated the coverage of the vice presidential candidates, receiving over ten times as much coverage as Biden on some networks as well as a significantly higher share of positive statements.

Basis: a total of 2,816 / 318 statements in ABC, CBS and NBC and Fox news programs, 9/1 - 9/30/2008

Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.


Obama maintains slim lead in media and polls

The media trend continues to favor Obama slightly, and the polls have followed. After a drop towards neutral, the media trend is once again edging slightly towards Obama, which should allow him to maintain his slim lead in the polling.

Basis: all statements by or on Obama and McCain in ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX evening news programs 7/21 - 9/24/2008

Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.


Negative coverage hurts FDI in China

TV coverage of the Chinese economy and business sector has become markedly more negative since 2006. Fears of overheating, product piracy and quality problems have made for coverage in the last years – with a marked effect on FDI.

Basis: 533 reports focusing on China in 16 US, UK and German TV news shows


Republicans dominate coverage across networks

Republicans dominated news coverage as McCain and Palin received the highest shares of media attention, allowing their concerns to be the focus. Meanwhile, although Obama continued to receive coverage, Biden comparatively dropped out of the spotlight.

Basis: a total of 8,539 statements by or on political protagonists in ABC, CBS and NBC and Fox news programs, 9/1 - 9/18/2008

Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.


Fox sees a different economic picture

While it´s sense of positive news has been the same, over the past year Fox News has consistently reported a less negative economic picture than the three networks. This can also be correlated to the way the various networks cover the candidates.

Basis: 2,364 / 694 reports

Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.
