The News in the News

I heard about this on this week's On The Media. It's an ongoing analysis of 50 or so media outlets with the intention of tracking where the attetion of the media is focused. Every week will bring a new chart like the one above. The study's creators also break down coverage by medium, so you can see the Ford's funeral recieved much more relative coverage on TV than it did in the papers. I think it's a great idea, and I'd be very curious to see the results of a similar study on a local level here in Grand Rapids.
