Pennsylvania Coverage Race Too Close To Call

Dow Jones Insight Staff


Like the race for votes, the race for press coverage in Pennsylvania ahead of next Tuesday’s primary remains tight, but in the most recent two-week period, the coverage advantage has reverted back to Clinton. While Obama had pulled ahead in our last review, since April 1 Clinton received more mentions in the Pennsylvania press (3,033) than Obama (2,920), giving her 51% of all Democratic mentions to Obama’s 49%.


Methodology: Pennsylvania publications analyzed include 146 print and Web sites of mainstream media (excluding blogs).
