  "Stop Evicting Katrina Survivors!" 
  Originally uploaded by The Voice of Eye

Tomorrow, the group Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) is releasing a new study entitled "Poverty of Coverage" which analyzes major television network coverage of poverty over the last 3 years. Among the findings:

  • A low amount of coverage of poverty issues – only 58 stories over 3 years among the major TV network news shows. In contrast, Michael Jackson was covered by 69 stories in the same period.
  • Hurricane Katrina led to an increase in media coverage of poverty, which soon tapered off after a few months.
  • ABC was the worst in terms of reporting poverty the least.

Head to this link tomorrow to find the FAIR report and press release.


UPDATE 9/7/07: The Report is up, in HTML and PDF formats!
