Chart History

Chart Type :

Doubts on Obama’s platform of change have increase	Detailed analysis shows that Obama is losing media support for some of his strong issues during the primary season: positive statements about his voter potential have decreased and criticism of his general political goals have sharply increased. Basis: all statements in Time, Newsweek, ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX evening news programs 2/1– 4/30/2008 Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.

Obamania ended in March	The long-drawn Democratic nomination damages both contenders: In April, overall reporting on Clinton and Obama was negative. The claim of a pro-Obama bias only held true for the first phase of this year's primary season. Basis: 40,041 statements by or on Clinton, Obama and McCain on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox evening news programs 1/1 – 4/24/2008 Results of Media Tenor studies will be regularly published on MediaChannel.org.

Charm offensive softens blow for China	China’s efforts to be recognized as a responsible global player following its diplomatic efforts in Darfur and its work to intensify and improve trade and political links with Taiwan and India, helped to momentarily stem the ongoing criticism on oppression and human rights violations. Basis: 789 reports on China in 25 international TV News For detailed information see current newsletter

Less bad news from Iraq in early April	Coverage of the Petraeus hearing changed the view on U.S. Iraq policy: compared with March coverage the share of negative statements decreased. Further analysis will show whether this trend will continue. If so, it might be an advantage for McCain. Basis: a total of 530 stories on U.S. protagonists in Iraq on ABC, CBS and NBC evening news programs 7/1/2007 – 4/10/2008

Berlusconi achieves more visibility abroad	While the news flow in Rai Uno was directed in favor of Veltroni, Berlusconi achieved more visibility abroad. On the other hand, Mastella, the reason for Prodi’s government collapse in February, was strongly criticized in Italy and also within the international TV media. Basis: 6,222 statements on politicians on Rai Uno: 01/01/08-03/20/08 and 19 reports on Italian politicians in the UK, U.S., German, French and Swiss TV media
