Fighting between Russia and Georgia received more U.S. media coverage than the presidential campaign last week, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. The study of news storylines between August 11 and 17 shows 26 percent of all news coverage focused on the conflict, while the presidential campaign received 21 percent of the coverage. This marks the first time in nine months that the campaign has not been the top news story. The conflict between Russia and Georgia also dominated campaign news itself, as candidates detailed their own views on how to handle the situation. According to the Pew report, 14 percent of campaign coverage last week was related to the crisis.
