PEJ just released a report that looks at the following questions:
How did coverage in the U.S. compare to media in other countries, both in the level of coverage and the way it was framed? How did the number of cases reported or the geographic proximity to the epicenter of the outbreak impact coverage? And, did the Spanish-language press in the U.S. treat the outbreak differently than its English-language counterparts?
A top 5 list of the key findings are also available on the PEJ site. Here is the pdf version.
