PEJ launches News Coverage Index

The Project for Excellence in Journalism has launched a "News Coverage Index" which it says is "the largest effort ever to measure and analyze the American news media on a continuing basis."

The Index examines some four dozen news outlets in real time to determine what is being covered and what is not—a broad sense of the American news agenda. The findings are then released in a weekly report that features an Index of the top stories, a narrative analyzing the twists, turns, and trajectory of the coverage, and a breakdown of the differences among media sectors.

The outlets studied come from the five main sectors of mainstream media—print, network TV, cable, online, and radio.

The index includes five web sites: CNN.com, Yahoo News, MSNBC.com, Google News, AOL News.
