| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: December 17, 2007 | | The unlikely surge of former Arkansas Governor helped generate the biggest week of coverage for the presidential campaign so far in 2007. But as Huckabee is learning, some media attention is more welcome than others. Plus, the Mitchell report turns steroid abuse in baseball into a front-page story—some might say at long last.
|
| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: December 13, 2007 | | Thanks to Mitt Romney’s big speech on his Mormon
faith, the presidential race was the biggest story of the week in the talk
universe last week. And while the new intelligence report on Iran sparked a lively debate, the CIA’s destruction of two
terror interrogation tapes didn’t generate much interest.

But last week, a new intelligence report sparked a heated debate over policy toward the leadership in Tehran.
|
| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: December 3, 2007 | | The increasingly heated exchanges between Rudy
Giuliani and Mitt Romney helped make the race for the White House the top story
last week in PEJ’s Index of the news. On the Democratic side, a former President
generated a good chunk of the coverage, and it wasn’t all good. That, plus a
football murder case.

| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: November 19, 2007 | | Planted questions, the B-word, and an
embarrassing indictment were all fodder for journalists covering the revved up
race for the White House last week. In Pakistan, a national crisis turns personal in the media. And
cable news’ favorite celebrity defendant.

Meanwhile the many angles of the 2008 campaign gave everyone grist to talk about.

| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: November 12, 2007 | | With the exception of the war in Iraq, international affairs tend not to generate major media
interest. But General Pervez Musharraf’s Nov. 3 declaration of emergency rule
in Pakistan proved to be a dramatic exception to that rule—and there
may be several disquieting reasons why.

| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: November 8, 2007 | | Thanks in part to the Democrats’ spirited debate
in Philadelphia,
last week was the biggest week of the year for the presidential campaign in the
universe of radio and cable talk shows. The main course was the Democratic
front runner who got carved up by hosts and pundits of various political
stripes.
|
| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: November 5, 2007 | | The presidential race was easily the biggest story in the media last week. But while much of the coverage focused on the attacks on Hillary Clinton at the Democrats’ Drexel University debate, the press also reassessed several other candidates.
|
| | Source: PEJ Research; Date Posted: November 1, 2007 | | The disaster in Southern
California dominated the conversation in the talk show universe
last week. Not every host played the story the same way. But for some the
search was on for bad guys—with FEMA and environmentalists getting caught in
the crosshairs.
