World News as Seen by the US Networks

[Anonymous]

I came across this talk about what get's covered on major US news networks channels. This is a map of the world based on how many seconds of coverage each country got in 2007 (the big beige country is Iraq):

I thought it was interesting given how we always talk at REIN about how the media reports reality so disproportionately to.



The full talk is here: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/alisa_miller_shares_the_news_about_the_news.html

It depends what time period you use as well. If you did the same excercise using this weeks news coverage, the biggest country on the map would be Egypt.
