Jeff Sessions as attorney general and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster as national security adviser. They also included the nomination and confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch as a Supreme Court justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allegations about Russia\u2019s possible involvement in the 2016 election as well as the White House\u2019s relationship with Moscow dominated stories on U.S.-Russia relations. Specific events included federal investigations into allegations of collusion and coordination, the related resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn, and Sessions\u2019 recusal from the Russia probe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coverage of health care included stories on efforts by Trump and other Republicans to move health care legislation through Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some differences emerged in coverage of each of these five topics. Immigration and health care, the two most policy-centric issues, were less likely to be framed around leadership than other issues. The actor or type of event that triggered a story (i.e., what spurred a news organization to produce the story in the first place) differed by topic as well. Finally, refutations of something Trump said occurred most frequently in stories about the president\u2019s political skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;in-three-of-the-five-most-common-story-topics-coverage-focused-overwhelmingly-on-the-president-s-leadership-and-character&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-three-of-the-five-most-common-story-topics-coverage-focused-overwhelmingly-on-the-president-s-leadership-and-character\">In three of the five most common story topics, coverage focused overwhelmingly on the president\u2019s leadership and character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/five-topics-accounted-for-two-thirds-of-coverage-in-first-100-days\/pj_2017-10-02_trump-first-100-days_2-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d6ced0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d6ced0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"309\" height=\"469\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-02.png?resize=309,469 309w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-02.png?w=309\" alt=\"Nearly all stories for three out of the five most prominent topics framed around Trump\u2019s leadership versus policy agenda\" class=\"wp-image-110005 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the five most prominent topics covered by the news media during the first 100 days of the Trump administration, immigration was the only one to focus more on the president\u2019s policy agenda and ideology than his leadership and character: 59% versus 41% of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coverage of health care, the other domestic issue among these top five, was about split between the two frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining three topics \u2013 Trump\u2019s political skills, presidential appointments and nominations, and U.S.-Russia relations \u2013 were overwhelmingly framed around his leadership and character. For each of these topics, at least nine-in-ten stories mostly focused on elements of leadership and character rather than policy. For example, nearly every story about U.S.-Russia relations was framed around the president\u2019s leadership and character (98%), not his policy agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;trump-and-the-administration-were-most-common-source-type-in-four-of-five-main-topics&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trump-and-the-administration-were-most-common-source-type-in-four-of-five-main-topics\">Trump and the administration were most common source type in four of five main topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About two-thirds or more of all stories produced about the five most common topics cited the president or someone from his administration. And for four of the five topics, the Trump administration was cited at a much higher rate than any other source type. The one exception was health care, for which stories were just as likely to cite a Republican congressional representative (66%) as they were Trump and his administration (64%). During that period, Republicans were trying to move health care reform legislation through Congress. Additionally, stories on health care were more likely than others to source an expert (22%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/five-topics-accounted-for-two-thirds-of-coverage-in-first-100-days\/pj_2017-10-02_trump-first-100-days_2-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e6e2e3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e6e2e3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"389\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-03.png?resize=480,294 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-03.png?resize=636,389 636w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-03.png?w=636\" alt=\"Source types cited varied some by story topic\" class=\"wp-image-110076 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;positive-assessments-were-rare-across-all-five-main-storylines&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"positive-assessments-were-rare-across-all-five-main-storylines\">Positive assessments were rare across all five main storylines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/five-topics-accounted-for-two-thirds-of-coverage-in-first-100-days\/pj_2017-10-02_trump-first-100-days_2-04-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e6e2d8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e6e2d8;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"309\" height=\"480\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-04.png?resize=309,480 309w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-04.png?w=309\" alt=\"Positive assessments of Trump\/ administration rare across all five prominent topics\" class=\"wp-image-110080 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negative assessments of Trump and his administration\u2019s words or actions were considerably more common than positive assessments in all of the five most prominent topics.

The only topic where neutral stories even slightly outweighed negative was coverage related to presidential appointments and nominations (48% neutral compared with 42% negative).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories about the president\u2019s political skills slightly outpaced the other four in terms of positive assessments, though only 15% of stories on this topic. Coverage of U.S. relations with Russia, on the other hand, were the least likely to carry a positive assessment of the president and his administration, at just 4% of all stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;trump-and-the-administration-triggered-a-large-portion-of-news-coverage-though-the-influence-level-varied-by-topic&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trump-and-the-administration-triggered-a-large-portion-of-news-coverage-though-the-influence-level-varied-by-topic\">Trump and the administration triggered a large portion of news coverage, though the influence level varied by topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2017\/10\/02\/five-topics-accounted-for-two-thirds-of-coverage-in-first-100-days\/pj_2017-10-02_trump-first-100-days_2-05-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e3dedf\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e3dedf;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-05.png?resize=423,405 423w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"402\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/09\/PJ_2017.10.02_Trump-First-100-Days_2-05.png?w=423\" alt=\"Trump\/administration triggered stories across all main topics, but other actors also came into play\" class=\"wp-image-110086 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the statements and actions of the president and his administration were the largest driver of coverage of Trump\u2019s first 100 days, but the amount of influence varied by topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About half (48%) of all stories written about the president\u2019s political skills were initiated as a result of a statement or action by Trump or a member of his administration.

This was less common for stories on health care (14%) and immigration (11%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health care coverage was much more likely than other topics to be in response to an action or statement by a Republican or Democratic congressional representative (31% compared with 14% or less for the others), likely tied to Republicans presenting new health care legislation during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third of immigration coverage (33%) was triggered by other government action, such as a Supreme Court statement, a report by a Federal agency, or a congressional hearing, followed by stories on appointments and nominations (25%) and U.S.-Russia relations (22%).
