Faith and the Media -- 1999 Cape Breton Post Scan

What follows are the final results for the Brandon Sun, as analysed over the three time periods.*

For each religious group, the number of items found are posted, as well as the total corresponding column cm2 taken up, the percentage of items that were considered to be fully about religion (rather than just mentioning it), the percentage of the total space that was made up by photographs or illustrations, and the average size of each item. The groups are ranked in decreasing number of pieces.

It should be noted that the groups listed here are not the only ones for which measurements have been taken.

To see some of the data collected last year, please consult the 1998 Faith and the Media results page .
