Today's Lead An Altered BP Photo Leads the Blogosphere: July 19-23, 2010
Last week, a blogger’s discovery of a doctored BP photograph generated the most interest in the blogosphere. Next came a discussion of the changing news business triggered by a humorous column from a veteran journalist. On Twitter, users were most interested in tracking how social networking sites were faring. On YouTube, an airborne donkey drew the most hits.  14% Percentage of newshole devoted to the Sherrod saga from July 19-25 When Race Makes NewsThe forced resignation of USDA staffer Shirley Sherrod, which occurred after a misleading video portrayed her remarks at an NAACP gathering as racist, generated significant attention last week. Indeed, it was the fourth-biggest story involving race since PEJ began tracking media coverage in 2007. Which other stories in that time frame top the list?
  The Reconstruction of a Media MessThe Shirley Sherrod saga started with a video posted online and ended with a flurry of finger pointing. In a special report, PEJ reconstructs a chronology of how the story reverberated around the media echo chamber before dramatically changing course. And this week’s News Coverage Index finds that the tale of the USDA employee prematurely forced out of her job was the No. 2 story in the news agenda.
 Old and New Media Both Make News, but Economy Tops the Agenda: July 19-25, 2010In a week in which economic news nearly hit a three-month high, cable talk shows were dominated by the resignation of a federal employee whose comments on race were taken out of context by a conservative website. Meanwhile, in the Gulf of Mexico, the debate was about the merits of plugging the BP oil well with a “topkill” or a “bottom kill.”
