| | Date Posted: July 30, 2009 | | The recent exchange between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the North Korean government captured media attention. But some recent coverage of the former First Lady suggested she has maintained a surprisingly low profile in her new job. How visible has Clinton been in the news media this year?
|
| | Date Posted: July 23, 2009 | | Coverage of Iran spiked dramatically when protesters flooded the streets after the disputed June 12 presidential election. But that level of attention is the exception rather than the rule. When does a country that poses a major strategic challenge to the U.S. generate major headlines?
|
| | Date Posted: July 9, 2009 | | Last week, coverage of the Iraq war spiked with the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraqi cities and the Prime Minister’s declaration of a national holiday. But in 2009, coverage of the six-year-old conflict has been sparse, continuing a long trend. PEJ tracks the shrinking trajectory of war coverage.
|
| | Date Posted: June 25, 2009 | | As the street protests in Iran turned violent, the turmoil inside that country dominated headlines in the U.S. media last week. What other stories chronicling protests and public dissent have generated significant press attention in the past few years?
|
| | Date Posted: June 18, 2009 | | Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was a media phenomenon during the 2008 presidential campaign. And her very public dust-up with David Letterman helped make her one last week’s leading newsmakers. Which other women have found themselves in the headlines most often this year?
|
| | Date Posted: June 11, 2009 | | Obama’s recent trip to the Middle East and Europe, punctuated by his June 4 speech in Cairo, attracted major media attention. But not all of his international visits have been treated equally by the press. Which ones have generated the most coverage?
|
| | Date Posted: June 2, 2009 | | As Vice-President, Dick Cheney was often depicted as a mysterious figure who steered clear of the media. But since leaving office, he has become perhaps the most visible and outspoken voice of GOP opposition to Barack Obama. How does Cheney’s current coverage compare with the coverage in his last year in the White House?
|
| | Date Posted: May 20, 2009 | | Even though science and technology subjects don’t generally attract major media attention, the mission to service the Hubble telescope was among last week’s top stories. How much coverage did that story generate and how does it compare to other science topics?
|
| | Date Posted: May 13, 2009 | | Events related to the fighting inside Afghanistan and Pakistan generated major attention last week in much of the news media. But that wasn’t the case with the opinion programs on cable and radio. How did talk show coverage—or lack thereof—compare to other media platforms?
|
| | Date Posted: May 7, 2009 | | When Justice David Souter announced his pending retirement, it became one of the week’s biggest stories. But the actions of the Supreme Court don’t usually dominate the headlines. Which High Court-related events generated substantial coverage and how do they compare to the Souter news?
