| | Date Posted: July 31, 2012 | | The July 27 opening night extravaganza from the London Olympics produced a big response on Twitter. But social media users offered a wide array of opinions—ranging from kudos to pans to confusion about what they were seeing. NBC, the U.S. broadcaster of the games, didn’t escape criticism either. |
| | Date Posted: July 26, 2012 | | The recent hiring of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie highlights the intense competition for viewers in the morning news world. PEJ looks at how those network morning shows differ from their evening counterparts when it comes to the news agenda.

| | Date Posted: May 24, 2012 | | Media attention to the continuing financial problems within the European Union spiked last week as Greece contemplated withdrawing from the organization.

|
| | Date Posted: May 17, 2012 | | The 2008 nomination battles won by Barack Obama and John McCain fueled extensive presidential campaign coverage in the early part of that year.

| | Date Posted: May 9, 2012 | | The one-year anniversary of the assault on the al Qaeda leader’s compound in Pakistan generated significant coverage last week in the mainstream media.

| | Date Posted: May 4, 2012 | | The Beltway debate over student loan rates was among the top stories in the mainstream media last week, with much of that focus on the political skirmishing. But on Twitter last week, more of the conversation was about the need to keep the rates low and their impact on students.
|
| | Date Posted: April 26, 2012 | | After
a slow start, coverage of the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin

that PEJ has studied since it began tracking news in 2007. Here is how that
coverage compares with other major news events that had a strong racial
component.

| | Date Posted: April 13, 2012 | | Slightly over a year ago, turmoil across the Middle East became one of the biggest stories in the U.S. media. Today, although unrest and political uncertainty continue to ripple throughout the region, the media’s interest in the story has virtually vanished.
|
| | Date Posted: April 4, 2012 | | The once raging health care debate resurfaced as major news last week thanks to crucial Supreme Court hearings.
