[SOURCE: Project for Excellence in Journalism, AUTHOR: Mark Jurkowitz]
Last week was one of the rare times this year when events inside Iraq generated more news coverage than the Washington-based policy debate over the war. And it marked the first time in 2007 that the bloodshed in Iraq -- which filled 10% of the overall newshole -- was the biggest story of the week, according to PEJ’s News Coverage Index for the period from May 13—May 18.
