{"pk":65465,"title":"The Presidential Primaries: Media Reporting and Candidate Qualities","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In the growing field of literature on media reporting and politics, there is a vacancy of knowledge on the study of factors that lead to media reporting. That is, what variables negatively or positively relate to media reporting levels? In this paper, I study that question by looking at data from the presidential primary elections of 2016 and 2020. I look at reporting across over 300 media outlets, for 45 candidates. I analyze eight separate variables and their relationship to media reporting rates. I find strong relationships between reporting rates versus campaign contributions and party identification.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Social Sciences","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jk6h220","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Grady","middle_name":"","last_name":"Thomson","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":"2021-12-02T19:49:21Z","date_accepted":"2021-12-02T19:49:21Z","date_published":"2021-12-02T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucm_mwp_ucmurj/article/65465/galley/50121/download/"}]}
