PEJ To Study Daily Media Output

This month, the Project for Excellence in Journalism is starting “an ambitious weekly study of what stories almost three dozen media sources are reporting, what news they view as important and how reporting differs among outlets,” USAT’s Peter Johnson reports.

Each Tuesday, PEJ “will issue a report on its website (journalism.org.) about the media agenda — what was covered and what wasn’t.” Here are the TV broadcasts they’ll be monitoring:

Network TV (Monday-Friday)

— ABC: Good Morning America, World News With Charles Gibson

– CBS: Early Show, Evening News With Katie Couric

— NBC: Today, Nightly News With Brian Williams

— PBS: NewsHour With Jim Lehrer

Cable TV (Monday-Friday)

— Daytime (1–1:30 p.m.), 1 out of 3: CNN, Fox News, MSNBC

— CNN (prime time), 3 out of 4: Lou Dobbs Tonight, Situation Room (7 p.m.), Paula Zahn Now, Anderson Cooper 360

— Fox News, 3 out of 4: Special Report With Brit Hume, Fox Report With Shepard Smith, O’Reilly Factor, Hannity & Colmes

— MSNBC, 2 out of 4: Tucker Carlson (6 p.m.), Hardball With Chris Matthews (7 p.m.), Countdown With Keith Olbermann, Scarborough Country
