Coverage is analysed weekly, and the first of four reports is due to be released on Monday 15 May.The reports provide commentary about the week\u2019s coverage and systematic measurements of which politicians and parties received the most coverage, the proportion of negative and positive coverage of candidates and parties, which issues received greatest prominence and the amount of coverage given to the election.Unique to the Loughborough study is the historical comparative data available, going back to 1992, which will allow the research team to identify changes and continuities in election reporting.<\/p>\n<p>The audit is being led by Professors <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/departments\/socialsciences\/staff\/academicandresearch\/deacon-david.html\">David Deacon<\/a>, John Downey, James Stanyer and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/departments\/socialsciences\/staff\/wring-dominic.html\">Dominic Wring<\/a> from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/departments\/socialsciences\/\">Department of Social Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the audit Professor Wring said: \u201cFor most people the media is their primary source of information when it comes to deciding who to vote for. Therefore the role and importance of the media in elections should not be underestimated. Being able to see who and what is making the headlines is very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s methodology, full weekly reports (as they become available) and further analysis can be found at the University\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lboro.ac.uk\/news-events\/general-election-2017\/\">General Election 2017<\/a> web page.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A real time news audit of the General Election by Loughborough University is lifting the lid on what media coverage the political parties, their policies and MPs are securing each week.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":969,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-election"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
