A quantitative look at reporting on hurricane Katrina <\/h3>\n\n

Monday, September 12, 2005, 11:45 am Eastern Time<\/em><\/p>\n\n

How are Katrina and its aftermath being covered? To get a snapshot, the Project for Excellence in Journalism has been regularly conducting keyword searches of Google News to trace the contours of what the press is focusing on and what it is not focusing on. This third update shows how the coverage has evolved over the two weeks since the hurricane swept through the Gulf Coast region.<\/p>\n\n

Our second update of the search terms, conducted six days ago, showed that the city of \u201cNew Orleans\u201d was the geographic location getting most of the coverage, more so than \u201cLouisiana,\u201d \u201cMississippi,\u201d or even the \u201cGulf Coast.\u201d President Bush continued to be the focal point of much of the coverage through last week, along with common, broader terms such as \u201crescue,\u201d \u201clooting,\u201d and \u201cevacuate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The third set of searches conducted today, shows New Orleans growing as the primary locus of hurricane coverage, though all coverage continues to grow. Over the past six days, stories with a reference to New Orleans have increased by 36%. Stories referencing Louisiana, meanwhile, have increased 15% and stories that refer to the whole Gulf Coast have increased by 20%. Stories about Mississippi have increased 24%.<\/p>\n\n

President Bush continues to be a major topic in the coverage, particularly the political impact of the relief effort. Over the past six days, there has been a 34% increase in stories that mention the hurricane and President Bush. The past six days have also seen a substantial increase in the number of stories that mention the Red Cross (up 88%) and FEMA (up 131%). Many stories that mention FEMA have included specific discussions about FEMA\u2019s director, Mike Brown, and how the agency handled the first few days after the storm.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, during the second week of the hurricane\u2019s aftermath there was a proliferation of coverage on the government\u2019s handling of the relief efforts and who should be held responsible for what went wrong. The number of stories with the word \u201cblame\u201d has increased by 185% over the past six days, while the term \u201cplanning\u201d has seen an increase of 100%. <\/p>\n\n

The storm\u2019s impact on the poor has also become a growing topic. Stories that use the term \u201cpoverty\u201d have increased 88% over the past six days, while stories that use the term \u201cdamage\u201d have increased by 68%. There has also been an 83% increase in the number of hurricane stories that use the word \u201cmissing\u201d as more coverage becomes focused on the whereabouts of survivors and those who are not accounted for. And the media\u2019s role in the story has become a hot topic\u2013 references to it have grown 152% over the last six days.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, some of the focus of the initial coverage has decreased in emphasis over the two weeks. The \u201cSuperdome,\u201d for example, is no longer a centerpiece of the coverage in the way it was over the first few days. \u201cLooting\u201d has only appeared in 18% more stories, while \u201crescue\u201d has only seen a 2% increase after the initial waves of rescues that occurred soon after the hurricane. <\/p>\n\n

These new searches were conducted between 9 am and 10 am Eastern Time on September 12, 2005.<\/p>\n\n

How are Katrina and its aftermath being covered? To get a snapshot, the Project for Excellence in Journalism has used keyword searches of Google News to trace the contours of what the press is focusing on and not focusing on. In this report, the Project has updated its search of Google News since last Friday’s initial report (see below<\/a>) to see where new themes have emerged, and what themes are disappearing. <\/p>\n\n

Our initial searches from last Friday showed that Louisiana and the \u201c Gulf Coast\u201d were the geographic areas referred to most often, with Mississippi also receiving extensive coverage. There was significant use of the terms \u201crescue,\u201d \u201cflooding,\u201d and \u201cdamage,\u201d as well as references to the New Orleans Superdome, the Red Cross, and to President Bush. Other elements of the story, such as race and class (as measured in the use of terms \u201cpoverty\u201d and \u201cAfrican-American\u201d) were referred to fairly infrequently. Less than one percent of the stories about the hurricane through last Friday used those terms. <\/p>\n\n

After our next round of searches conducted Tuesday, September 6, we can determine that certain elements of the coverage have indeed expanded in attention over the Labor Day weekend while others have decreased. <\/p>\n\n

Overall coverage of the hurricane continues to be extensive. Roughly 257,000 articles have included at least a reference to the hurricane or its aftermath. While New Orleans and the state of Louisiana were both mentioned about the same amount of times through last Friday, the focus on New Orleans seems to be growing as time passes. \u201c New Orleans\u201d was mentioned an approximately 57,300 additional times over the Labor Day weekend while \u201c Louisiana\u201d was mentioned only an additional 21,200 times. Stories on the state of Mississippi, which was mentioned fewer times to begin with, was mentioned only an additional 11,600 times over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n

Other elements of the story also became much more a focus of coverage. The President\u2019s role has continued to grow, perhaps in part due to his making two visits to the scene of the disaster. The terms \u201cKatrina,\u201d \u201cBush,\u201d and \u201cpresident\u201d went from 24,000 mentions through last Friday, to about 37,800 references through today. That is an increase of 58% more stories. There were more than twice as many stories that connected Katrina to Iraq. Through last Friday, about 6,040 stories referred to both, while that number has increased to 13,200 stories through today. <\/p>\n\n

FEMA and the public health risks posed by the hurricane have also become much more prevalent in coverage. References to \u201cFEMA\u201d have gone up by 47% since our initial searches, while mentions of the term \u201cpublic health\u201d have increased by 130%. The references to the terms \u201cAfrican-American\u201d and \u201cpoverty\u201d have more than doubled over the weekend as more stories are dealing with those elements of the hurricane\u2019s effects. Stories involving the term \u201clooting\u201d rose from 10,100 stories on Friday to 13,000 by Tuesday, an increase of 29%. Finally, stories that included the word \u201crescue\u201d increased 36%, from 25,000 to 34,000 articles. <\/p>\n\n

Other key terms that were mentioned quite frequently though the first few days of the recovery lost emphasis over the weekend. Terms such as \u201cdamage,\u201d \u201coil\u201d and \u201cprice\u201d together, and \u201cgouge\u201d became much less used over the weekend than during the first few days after the event, suggesting perhaps that as the enormity of the human toll of the hurricane became clearer, those secondary themes fell into the background. <\/p>\n\n

Google News includes online articles from the past 30 days, so the searches included here returned stories that appeared at any point during that time. Our initial search was conducted four days after Katrina made landfall, while the search today was conducted an additional four days later. <\/p>\n\n

These new searches were conducted between 11 am and 1 pm Eastern Time on September 6, 2005. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, a visitor to the PEJ site noted in an email that while New Orleans in general was getting a fair amount of coverage, not all parishes within the city were receiving equal coverage and much of the coverage included pictures of parts of the city without referring to the specific locations being discussed. To consider this observation, we searched for areas in and around New Orleans to see how often each was mentioned in a story regarding the hurricane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Friday, September 2, 2005, 3:00 pm Eastern Time<\/em> <\/p>\n\n

Online search engines allow us to use innovative methods to track how news stories are being covered in real-time. The Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted searches using the search engine Google News to gain insight into how online coverage is framing Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. <\/p>\n\n

For instance, a basic search for the term \u201cKatrina\u201d shows the scope of the coverage, roughly 187,000 articles. Within that, certain angles of the reporting are more common than others. The state of Louisiana , as an example, is mentioned twice as often as the state of Mississippi . Certain cities are also getting more coverage than others. For example, the city of New Orleans has been referred to 81,700 times while Hattiesburg, MS, has been cited only 3,100 times. <\/p>\n\n

Other searches reveal that the organization of the Red Cross is mentioned in stories three times as often as FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Stories about the hurricane refer to President Bush roughly 24,000 times, while stories refer to Mayor Nagin of New Orleans roughly 14,600 times. Roughly the same number of stories use the terms \u201cevacuate\u201d and \u201clooting,\u201d while a significant number of articles connect hurricane Katrina to other stories such as last year\u2019s hurricane Ivan, the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean , consequences of the hurricane on football games, and the ongoing events in Iraq . A relatively small number of articles refer to the hurricane and terms such as \u201cpoverty\u201d and \u201cgouge.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Google News<\/a> is a search engine that uses computer algorithms to compile news stories from over 4,500 news sources, blogs, and other sites. The engine is updated constantly and by utilizing key term searches, allows us to conduct a quick and rudimentary analysis of how fast-moving stories are being covered online. <\/p>\n\n

The below list of searches is by no means exhaustive, and the limitations of such an analysis are fairly obvious. New articles are posted on the web all the time and these searches reveal how often terms are mentioned, not the topics or primary subject matter of each story. Also, some terms such as \u201cflooding\u201d or \u201cmissing\u201d may have multiple meanings depending on the context. However, even with these limitations, this quantitative investigation does provide insights into the trends of the hurricane reporting. <\/p>\n\n

All searches were conducted between 10 and 10:30 am Eastern Time on September 2, 2005 . <\/p>\n\n
