Some notes on the research

The following 25 newspapers were included in the study:

In British Columbia:Kelowna Courier,Vancouver Sun,Victoria Times Colonist
In Alberta:Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Lethbridge Herald
In Manitoba:Brandon Sun, Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg Sun
In Ontario:Cambridge Reporter, Guelph Mercury, Hamilton Spectator, Kitchener Waterloo Record, Ottawa Citizen, Toronto Star, Toronto Sun
In Quebec:La Presse, Le Devoir, Le Soleil, The Gazette
In New Brunswick:Daily Gleaner, Telegraph Journal
In Nova Scotia:Cape Breton Post, Chronicle-Herald
In Prince Edward Island:The Guardian

The sampling of articles took place during the following days of 1998:

February 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28
March 1, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
April 26, 27, 28, 29, 30
May 1, 2, 3

It should be noted that not every one of the newspapers was analysed for each of these days.

The total number of articles (or unaccompanied photos) analyzed was 1403.

With regard to the calculation of percentages and other figures, it should be noted that documents may be counted 'twice'. For example, an article that discusses both Canadian and international material will be included in both the 'international' and the 'Canadian' counts. Therefore, there are several instances where total percentage counts may in fact add up to figures in excess of 100%.
