Description
During a heated political campaign, news coverage of candidates is often attacked. The purpose of this research is to analyze newspaper articles and determine differences between the types of articles written during two different time periods of the 2012 presidential campaign and which types of articles were written about each presidential candidate. To do this, a content analysis was conducted from news articles published in The Washington Post, USA Today, and The New York Times from two different weeks during the 2012 presidential campaign.
