New Publication: Searching for Bias, Slant, and Frame Selection in Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal

Newspaper Research Journal recently published my article investigating possible news slant in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. (Unfortunately, the piece is out in print only and is not available online yet.) I launched my research project after reading this article by New York Times media columnist David Carr: Tilting to the Right at Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal – NYTimes.com. The empirical data appears to contradict the early anecdotal evidence. But my study is merely a first step in studying Murdoch’s impact on the Journal and is far from definitive. Much more work should be done.
