Female voices in the media infographic. (Wow) [View all]

About this data
The 4th Estate collects data from a sampling of news stories from US national print outlets, TV broadcast and radio transcripts covering the 2012 election. These stories are contextually analyzed and broken down by topic, sentiment and newsmaker. The data for this graphic includes quotes and statements from newsmakers who provide subjective insight. Statements from candidates are not counted. The 4th Estate's sister company, Global News Intelligence, provides similar proprietary services for government and Fortune 500 companies.
