Domestic terrorism was cited by the Project for Excellence in Journalism as a hot topic, as it released its press coverage chart for the week of 7/22-27/07. However, it came in a distant third to the continuing preoccupation with the 2008 presidential campaign, with only a third of the total coverage. In fact, the #2 story, the alleged prevarications of AG Alberto Gonzales, only received half as much attention as the campaign. Two of the five media studied collaborated on a debate among Democratic candidates, cable's CNN and internet's YouTube, and that was the one single event which fueled most of the coverage. Although Iraq coverage was pushed out of the top three, it still claimed the 4th, 5th and 6th slots. The biggest stories to drop off the charts were one-timers tied last week at 3%, the tale of a Brazilian plane crash and the frightening New York City steam pipe blast. In fact, the week was strangely devoid of any meteorological or other one-time event, unless you want to count the steep stock dive toward the end of the week.
