HeadlineAug 20, 2007

According to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the Iraq War accounted for just 15 percent of news coverage, down from 22 percent earlier this year. Network evening news coverage of the war went from 40 percent to 19 percent. The Democratic and Republican presidential campaign emerged as the most-covered issue over the same period.
