Data: Does bottom-line pressure make terrorism coverage more negative? Evidence from a Twenty Newspaper Panel Study.

<p>We use an original panel dataset to explore the impact of economic pressure on the way journalists report terrorism. This dataset combines data about terrorist attacks in the U.S.[1], presidential endorsements by newspapers[2], ownership and profit information, and public distrust of the media[3] with tone scores for randomly selected articles on terrorism from 20 newspapers spanning 1997 to 2014. This publication includes a Stata data file (in dta and csv formats) as well as an appendix with a description of variables and selected tables and figures.</p>
