On March 30, 2016, CCLP published an article on Medium.com entitled “Yes, the media bears some responsibility for the rise of Donald Trump — here’s proof.” CCLP Associate Director Ev Boyle and researchers Jane Yi, Rebecca Mulqueen, and Skye Featherstone set out to answer two questions: Just how much coverage are the top online news outlets devoting to Trump? And which publications are doing the best (and worst) job of balancing their presidential coverage?
Since publication, the study has garnered significant media attention in publications including The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, Salon.com, and Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy
