Most television stations have far lower than average ratios of COVID to crime coverage, though WPVI/ABC6s ratio of 3.3 exceeds ratios at most of Philadelphias larger outlets. The stock market-traded form of ownership is largely represented in our study by the affiliates of CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox, which have a low average ratio of COVID-19 to crime coverage (average ratio of 0.9 for outlets owned by stock-market traded companies, vs. 11 for all other outlets; p < .001, chi square tests, using COVID and crime item totals). To adjust for less than perfect precision and recall, we follow Stryker et al.s method of using recall and precision rates to produce a coefficient to apply to the number of COVID-19 (multiplied by coefficient of 1.07) and crime stories (multiplied by coefficient of 1.05) surfaced by our searches to produce an estimated total number of stories in each category of coverage for each outlet during our search period.

The system on average also produces news for older audiences, with an age index of 109.

Laura went to Emory University in Atlanta, where she studied English literature and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. An open string attempts to gather all relevant items by opening the search as widely as possible, which also will gather many irrelevant items (high recall, low precision). The data underlying this article are available in the article. Urban media systems such as Philadelphia, home to one of the largest designated media markets in the United States, also have been affected by declining news resources, which can exacerbate inequalities in news provision (Rafsky, 2020). The patterns that emerge from our data paint a multi-dimensional portrait of Philadelphias media system that strongly suggests that differences in audience size and staffing levels, ownership structures (commercial vs. noncommercial), and format (print vs. television vs. digital-only) together work to underserve socioeconomically marginalized populations. Produced an anti-racism workflow guide that provides specific questions reporters and editors should ask themselves at various stages of the journalistic process. They do so in a heavily politicized time, when As digital forms of news distribution emerged in the 2000s, a new wave of research found gaps in public affairs reporting, but also traced networks of emergent digital-only news outlets that potentially could fill some of these gaps (Anderson, 2013; Schaffer, 2010).

These socially and geographically oriented publications have small newsrooms, typically fewer than a dozen people, and in some cases only two or three people. We also contacted each outlet in our sample via email, requesting data on the above variables to ensure we had the most recent and correct information available. Despite what might appear to be a robust and thriving media system, Philadelphias patterns of news provision indicate informational inequalities along socioeconomic lines. While some managers suggested that it was expected that talent would be poached because the Inquirer was no longer viewed by some as a destination newspaper, other staff suggested more needed to be done to create a working environment in which BIPOC journalists felt their life experiences were acknowledged and welcomed. Next, we outline our methodological approach to assessing multiple dimensions of Philadelphias media system: Audience socioeconomics; audience size; news staffing levels; media ownership structures; and news platforms (more recent digital-only entrants in the media system vs. older, legacy outlets that generally combine platforms such as print, broadcast, and digital).

Availability limitations require us to draw on data from different years, but most data fall into a narrow time frame (generally 2017 to 2021, though some circulation data is as old as 2009), and therefore they do not preclude comparative analysis. Correlations between raw percentages of COVID items and age indices are largely unchanged from correlations using ratios (0.865, p = .001) but weaker for crime items and age indices (-0.17, p = .65).
