Faith and the Media -- 1999 Globe & Mail Scan

Here are the final results for The Globe and Mail, for the three time periods studied.

For each religious group, the number of items found to date 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 finally, the average size of each item. The groups are arranged based on their respective number of items, in descending order.

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

You may wish to compare these with those of all Ontario-based papers. To see some of the data collected last year, please consult the 1998 Faith and the Media results page .
