    NYT Wrote About These Character Threads Far More Than Any Other

    A QUESTION OF CHARACTER: How the Media Have Handled the Issue And How the Public Has Reacted If presidential elections are a battle for control of message through the media, George W. Bush has had the better of it on the question of character than Albert Gore Jr., according to a new study of media coverage leading up to the Republican convention. But in age of skepticism and fragmented communications, the public may not be getting--or believing—the message. There is also a hint that some of the worst of the press coverage of Gore’s character may have come and gone, while coverage of Bush lately has become more skeptical. These are some of the findings from an unusual study of the character issue in the 2000 presidential election, conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Committee of Concerned Journalists, and twinned with a survey of public attitudes of the candidates conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.1 The study examined five weeks of stories in newspapers, television, radio and the Internet that spanned the five months between February and June. In general, the press has been far more likely to convey that Bush is a different kind of Republican—a “compassionate conservative,” a reformer, bipartisan--than to discuss Al Gore’s experience, knowledge or readiness for the office, according to the study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Committee of Concerned Journalists. Fully 40% of the assertions about Bush were that he was a different kind of politician, one of Bush’s key campaign themes.
