This study documents the amount of coverage received by these incidents and identifies the variables influencing whether an incident is covered and how much space it receives. It also provides a qualitative analysis of coverage of the top 15 most news producing incidents. The results follow a similar pattern to pre-9/11 findings, where most terrorist incidents receive no coverage and a select few are sensationalized. Incidents with casualties or injuries, Jihadi perpetrators, governmental targets, or firearms are significantly more likely to be covered and receive more news space.
