(The <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2021\/04\/28\/biden-administration-100-days-appendix-a-grouping-outlets-by-audience-ideology-and-grouping-survey-respondents-by-media-diet\/\">full list of source types<\/a> can be found here.) There could be more than one source within any source type \u2013 for example, quotes from two administration officials.

A large majority (82%) of all stories cited Biden or his administration. The next most common source type cited was far less frequent \u2013 32% of stories cited experts or interest groups. About a quarter of stories cited congressional Democrats (27%) or congressional Republicans (23%), and one-in-five (20%) cited another news source or journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outlets with right-leaning audiences also stood out from the other two groups in some of the specific sources they included or did not include in their coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one notable example, only 17% of the stories from outlets with right-leaning audiences used sources identified as issue groups or experts.

As a result, the average number of source types cannot be compared directly between the two administrations. However, it is possible to compare the <em>specific<\/em> source types relied on during the early days of both administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, media coverage of the Biden administration was more likely to cite issue groups or experts than during Trump\u2019s first days as president. This was the case regardless of outlet type. Issue groups or experts were cited in 39% of the stories published by outlets with left-leaning audiences in the early days of the Biden administration, up from 32% under Trump; 31% of stories from outlets with ideologically mixed audiences, up from 26%; and 17% of stories from outlets with right-leaning audiences with Biden, up from 10% in Trump\u2019s early days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, all three groups cited fewer journalists and other media outlets as sources in the Biden administration\u2019s early days than under Trump. While 41% of outlets with right-leaning audiences <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/coverage-from-news-outlets-with-a-right-leaning-audience-cited-fewer-source-types-featured-more-positive-assessments-than-coverage-from-other-two-groups\/#stories-from-outlets-appealing-to-a-right-leaning-audience-cite-fewer-source-types-including-fewer-experts-issue-groups-and-the-administration\">did so in 2017<\/a>, that percentage dropped to 35% this year, and among mixed-audience outlets, that number dropped from 25% during the early days of the Trump administration to 15% this year. The decrease was most dramatic among the left-leaning audience outlets (39% to 17%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;trump-mentioned-in-roughly-half-of-stories-about-the-biden-administration&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trump-mentioned-in-roughly-half-of-stories-about-the-biden-administration\">Trump mentioned in roughly half of stories about the Biden administration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2021\/04\/28\/news-outlets-with-right-leaning-audiences-used-fewer-types-of-sources-than-those-with-left-leaning-or-mixed-audiences\/pj_2021-04-28_biden-100-days_2-05-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eae3d9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae3d9;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/PJ_2021.04.28_biden-100-days_2-05.png?resize=480,799 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/PJ_2021.04.28_biden-100-days_2-05.png?resize=782,1301 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/PJ_2021.04.28_biden-100-days_2-05.png?resize=840,1398 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"699\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/04\/PJ_2021.04.28_biden-100-days_2-05.png?w=615\" alt=\"About half of all news stories about Biden\u2019s first 60 days in office mentioned Trump \u2026 and those mentions were especially common in stories about immigration and political skills\" class=\"wp-image-108447 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transition between the Trump and Biden administrations was anything but traditional. Trump declined to acknowledge his electoral defeat or meet with his successor and repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/01\/06\/trump-tells-capitol-rioters-to-go-home-now-but-still-calls-the-election-stolen.html\">election was stolen<\/a>. Biden\u2019s inauguration came just two weeks after a group of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2020-election\/congress-begin-electoral-vote-count-amid-protests-inside-outside-capitol-n1253013\">in an attempt to stop the certification of Biden\u2019s victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given these factors, it is perhaps unsurprising that Trump was a prominent part of the media\u2019s coverage of the first days of the Biden administration. Trump, in fact, was mentioned in about half of all stories examined in this study \u2013 with almost no differences by type of media outlet. Among outlets with left-leaning audiences, Trump was mentioned in 50% of the stories about the new administration. Outlets with right-leaning audiences and those with ideologically mixed audiences each mentioned Trump in 47% of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In news stories covering Biden\u2019s early days in office, mentions of Trump were most often associated with two topics. He appeared in 68% of stories about immigration and 72% of stories dealing with political skills and management. Trump was mentioned in about half of stories (48%) about presidential appointments and nominations and 37% of stories about health care. Among the top five topics, Trump was least likely to be mentioned in stories about the economy (29%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sources journalists turn to are an important factor in any news story.
