  • The Death Penalty in 2013: Year End Report
    ! ! THE DEATH PENALTY IN 2013: YEAR END REPORT Media Coverage Summary ! DPIC’s 2013 Year End Report was released on December 19, 2013, receiving extraordinary coverage. Coverage of the report appeared in over 500 media outlets, and was notable in two important respects. First, there was an increase in the amount of news coverage and editorial board attention. Second, 2013 was the year the media reported and underscored our message that “[a] societal shift is underway,” as quoted in the New York Times. Coverage of the 2013 Year End Report included stories in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Time, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters and AFP, and in hundreds of other articles and editorials. Richard Dieter was interviewed on MSNBC-TV and C-SPAN’s Washington Journal. Stories also ran on NPR (two stories), CBS, ABC, NBC, and Associated Press Radio Networks. As an example of our use of new media, The Guardian (which now has web traffic inside the U.S. similar to the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times) hosted an online chat about the report with DPIC’s Executive Director. The theme of a fundamental change in the country was echoed widely. For example, newspapers in North Carolina carried DPIC’s observation that the decline of the death penalty was not a "one-year quirk … It's indicative of some broad changes in society.” This theme was reflected in New York Times and Washington Post editorials, as well as editorials in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
