266 - Where News Breaks

Filed under: Uncategorized — strangemaps @

As any journalist knows, news has to be about people - they either make it, or are affected by it. No people, no news. It therefore stands to reason that heavily populated areas of the US, like California or the Northeast, generate most of the news stories. But even allowing for population, some locations account for a disproportionately high number of news items.

Researchers extracted the dateline from about 72,000 wire-service news stories from 1994 to 1998 and modified a standard map of the Lower 48 US states (above) to show the size of the states in proportion to the frequency of their appearance in those datelines (below). Some notable results:

* Washington DC accounts for a huge proportion of the news stories - not surprising, since it is the nation’s capital, and the home of Congress, the Presidency and other political news generating institutions. But still: DC (pop. 600,000; metro area 5.8 million) generates more news than the most populous state, California (pop. 36.5 million).

* New York is the largest news provider of the country, of course nearly all originating in New York City (pop. 8.2 million; metro area 18.8 million). Compare this to Illinois, home of the the nation’s third largest city, Chicago (pop. 2.8 million; metro area 9.5 million). Especially when considering metropolitan areas, Chicago/Illinois should be half the ‘news size’ of New York City/New York, while in fact it seems to be less than one fifth. Could this underrepresentation be down to another ‘capital effect’ (i.e. New York being the ‘cultural capital’ of the US)?

* News stories from Texas (pop. 20.8 million) seem overly scarce, especially when compared to, say, Georgia (pop. 8.2 million), which seems to get a bigger share. Could this be due to the fact that major news organization CNN is headquartered in Atlanta?

* The Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, with a combined population of under 9 million, are all but invisible. No people, no news? Colorado alone, with a population of under 4.5 million, is responsible for a much larger chunk of news than those states combined. Could this be because the other states lack large cities, while Colorado has Denver (pop. 600,000; metro area 2.5 million)? No cities, no news?

This cartogram, originally from the August 2004 issue of Science News magazine, where it illustrated an article entitled ‘A Better Distorted View: The Physics of Diffusion Offers A New Way of Generating Maps’. Many thanks to Christian Schumann-Curtis, who sent it in.

  5. In the USA, we get news from the East Coast, and entertainment from the West coast. The middle of the country is badly underrepresented. No surprise here: Most of the country’s elite live in either California or the Northeast.

    New York is indeed a cultural capital in its own right - but of the East Coast. No one in the Midwest looks eastward to New York for cultural inspiration. Sorry. The author is wrong. Chicago is the cultural capital of the Midwest.

    Just curious, but what is the “cultural capital” of the American South? Would any Southerners care to comment?

  6. I like the fact that the cartogram not only expnads New York proportionately, but also the “balloon” is centered on NYC. (However, I would call NYC the *financial* capital of the US, the “cultural capital” being of course, Hollywood and surrounding area.)

    I found the blew a golden opportunity with the colouring of the states. Instead of just using a standardly-coloured political map, they should have attempted to represent more data with the colouring, population would make the most sense (so the disconnect between population and number of news stories are even more apparent.)

  7. I loves me some cartograms. It’s not a great tool for this analysis, though, because cartograms implicitly contrast your data with the geographic size of the units. Since what they are getting at is volume of news stories vs. population, a standard map showing the pattern of that ratio would be more accurate.

    My favorite thing about this cartogram is that, although they inflated New York City at the expense of Upstate New York, they still let Long Island dwarf Manhattan. Cool.

  8. The difference between Chicago and New York seems reasonable, as New York has a number of news-making features that Chicago lacks.

    First, Wall Street is in New York, so the vast majority of business news is going to have a New York City byline. In addition, New York has 45 Fortune 500 company headquarters (24 Global 500), whereas Chicago has only 11 (2 Global 500).

    Also, a huge number of major news organizations are headquartered in New York (eg, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal).

    Politically, New York has the UN Headquarters, and visiting dignitaries tend to visit New York much more often than Chicago.

    New York is also the second biggest city in the US for both film production and television production, but I don’t think that those actually will increase the amount of news particularly. I’d expect more news to come out of the business and political arenas than entertainment.

  10. Cultural capital of the South? I’d guess Atlanta, but that is not an easily answered question–some might just as easily suggest Nashville or New Orleans, I suppose…
    I am surprised that Texas is so “small” comparatively.

    Comment by cspencef — April 21, 2008 @

  11. That Colorado shows up at all is due to the fact that the survey upon which the wire service survey was based covered 1994 - 1998, which included 1996, which was the year of Columbine (I lived a mile north of that high school at the time).

  19. “Could this underrepresentation be down to another ‘capital effect’ (i.e. New York being the ‘cultural capital’ of the US)?”

    More likely it results from New York being the ‘cocktail capital’ of the U.S, i.e. where all the reporters hang out.

    You can draw the same comparisons to media coverage of Iraq. British-administered South Iraq is fine, Kurdistan is fine, but the reporters’ hotels are in Baghdad, so the country is represented as being in a permanent state of chaos.

  21. I think the reason why Georgia is so well represented in the second map is because CNN is headquartered here. And they like to push stories that come from their own backyard.

    Atlanta may not be the cultural capital of the South (I think it depends on how you define “culture”), but Atlanta is the business capital of the South. I think that’s another reason for the large GA in the second map.

  24. On the Georgia thing, I noticed you included 1994 - 1998. While I don’t disagree that CNN’s presence in Atlanta had something to do with it, consider (a) the Atlanta Braves won 4 division titles, 2 NL pennants and 1 World Championship in that period, and (b) the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. That may have something to do with it.

  25. It would be interesting to see a before and after version that displayed the effects of media consolidation(resulting in fewer local reporting resources)over the past decade or so.
    Another cool thing would be to see a world map of coverage of domestic vs foreign stories(I would expect Brazil to appear quite small in spite of it’s population and importance; while China and the Middle East appear larger).

  27. When I was in Belfast in February, I stayed in “the world’s most bombed hotel.” Evidently, it’s where the international journalists stayed, so the IRA would drive up and set off a bomb (the hotel was recessed from the street a bit). That way, the journalists could just come down to the lobby, take pix of the aftermath, and write stories about how “nowhere is safe in Belfast.”

    Comment by V — April 21, 2008 @

  31. These are visually compelling forms of representation; it’s a way of marrying data to geography which is compelling. But cool as they are I still find these kinds of maps annoying and misleading.

    Both maps imply some kind of bias—in the case of today’s map it is that NY and DC get far more coverage than they deserve relative to all of the obviously newsworthy events occurring elsewhere. There is, of course, some validity to this. News gathering organizations are concentrated in NY and DC and to a lesser degree in some of the other fat states on that map (California, Illinois). And, there is most certainly a home-base bias; if you can, most people with time constraints would prefer to write a story by interviewing someone down the street than flying to Toledo. I do find it a little jarring when the overturned bus in Atlanta gets a good 15 minutes of coverage on CNN, while the fact that 32 school children in Chicago have been murdered this year has gotten about 15 seconds.

    But, presenting the data in that form is also wildly misleading. The text accompanying the map discusses the relative proportion of news coverage to the populations of states. But the map itself doesn’t take these differences into account. The authors/map-makers could simply have divided percent of coverage by percent of population and scaled state sizes to those data. Presenting the data in this way does control for population differences (Montana is 4% of the US’s land mass but accounts for just 0.3% of its population). But they didn’t in part because they want to emphasize the a point (bias) and in part because they want to make a “cool” map and the exaggerated distortion on the map they show is certainly cooler looking than would have been the case if they had scaled it properly.

    More importantly, the implication doesn’t take into account either the fact that (1) the supply of stories that are in demand is clustered in a few places: business (NY), entertainment (LA) and politics (DC). Or (2) the fact that doing a man-on-the-street story about reaction to Britney Spears’s latest scandal in Atlanta is probably going to give you the same basic story as would be the case if the reporter traveled to Des Moines. Either way, the reporter is going to manufacture “balanced” story representative of “heartland’s” views through a hardly scientific selection of quotes.

    So, is this map interesting because it reveals something about the bias of the MSM or because it reveals something about the preferences of consumers of news? Are people in NY and DC more apt to read the paper daily (perhaps) or are guileful reporters and editors ignoring flyover country? Or, is it just cool that they can smoosh states together regardless of the meaning that smooshing conveys? The point (which at base, I believe) would have been much stronger if they had made some cursory effort to mitigate against the obvious challenges to the data?

  32. Gosh, I looked and I looked, but nope! couldn’t find my home state! Well, no news up here anyway; except when we start demanding the opening ANWR to supply the nation’s energy needs. No news, nothing to see, move along now!

    Comment by Denny, Alaska — April 22, 2008 @

  33. I would like to see this cartogram redone using data from a much longer time period — at least 20 years. That’s the only way to control for the distortion caused by unusual events that dominate the news for a few weeks or months and then drop off the radar. For example, the inflation of Colorado is probably due to the JonBenet Ramsey story; Oklahoma due to the Oklahoma City bombing; and Georgia the 1996 Olympics and Olympic Park bombing.

    As for the earlier question about which city is the “cultural capital” of the South; that really depends on what you mean by “cultural capital”. Atlanta is, without a doubt, the premier city of the South. But if by “cultural capital” you mean the city that people naturally tend to flock to when they want to sample uniquely “Southern” culture, it would almost certainly have to be Nashville. (In fact, many Southerners outside of the metro Atlanta area regard Atlanta as a “northern” city that just happens to be located in the South — much in the same way that Berlin used to be a “western” city that just happened to be located in the middle of East Germany.) As for New Orleans, its culture is so unique that most Southerners outside of Louisiana don’t really consider it to be representative of the broader “Southern” culture at all.

    The Columbine shootings were in 1999, not 1996.

  35. You get the same result throughout the world in regards to coverage of conflicts. Reporters tend to go where there are hotels. That’s why the Israel-Palestine conflict is always in the new, but, the reports are from palestinian stringers, because the reporters stay in Isreal. No reporting in Africa, even though there are numerous terrible conflicts. Darfur anyone? Or Afghanistan? No green zone like Iraq…..

  45. Maybe JonBennet Ramsey distorts Colorado, but I doubt it. Denver has the second most federal employees in the country, only DC has more. So Denver probably has a miniture version of the DC effect going on, ie regulator agents doling out press releases. Add the effect of the Colorado Springs religious folk, NORAD/Air Force Academy, the Aspen celebrity factor, and the fact that Colorado is a fast growing state with a high tech economy and Colorado’s size becomes believable.

    If you note that Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are all seeming large (compared to Wyoming, the Dakota’s, et cetera), Colorado makes sense, with maybe some excess from the Ramsey case.

    And yeah, Columbine was in 1999, not 1996.

  47. This cartogram was based on wire service reports. I may be wrong (someone please correct me if I am); but I wouldn’t think that CNN would be counted as a wire service. If not, then Georgia’s size has to be due to something other than the fact that CNN is based in Atlanta.

  64. This map reminds me of the Wii News Channel’s globe view, which represents more or less the same kind of data in a different way. It represents the earth as a globe covered in stacks of newspaper pages. The height of each stack indicates the number of wire-service stories available to read. The papers are aggregated by region according to how closely you’re zoomed into the globe view; so, say, as you zoom in, a pile will reshuffle itself into several smaller piles. But the sizes of states in this diagram correspond pretty well to how those pages usually stack up.

    What is culture? Examples for the tourist: An abundance of quality (not crappy chain) restaurants; lots of different ethnic restaurants (not just the Mexican or Thai, although those are good, too); 1st class museums, good theatre, excellent shopping,
    ballroom/swing/salsa/tango dance communities, foreign (film) movie theaters, classy bars to see live jazz, etc. In Chicago, you could always find something to do every night of the week….. I am not sure you can make the same claims on any other, smaller Midwestern city….

    - appalachia (western nc, tennessee, kentucky)
    - the delta south (southern missouri, western tennessee)
    - the dixie south (south carolina, georgia)
    - florida (north/central/south, all very different)
    - the deep south (mississippi, alabama)
    - louisiana (it’s own unique history and cultural mix)
    - texas (nuff said)

    each of these areas have their own accent, culture, and bbq sauce.
