Faith and the Media -- 1999 New Brunswick results

As the results become available for New Brunswick-based newspapers, the data will be posted here. At first, it will be a little sketchy, but stay tuned for ever-more refinement!

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


Ongoing results are currently available for:
Telegraph Courier
Fredericton Daily Gleaner

Here are the 'top ten' most prolific religious groups as covered by the above newspapers... The table shows the number of items that referred to each group, the percentage that were fully about religion, the percentage of space that was made up by photographs or illustrations, the average size (in square centimetres) of each item, and finally, the percentage of all items in the New Brunswick papers that referred to each religious group.

Again, this list will change, so keep checking back!
