Version 1.0.0 of the Campaign Media Content Analysis, Print Media (GLES 2017) (ZA6809) is available.
The dataset contains media data concerning the campaign of the Federal election 2017, which can be systematically combined with the survey data of the election study. Daily newspapers were chosen as the genre and the five most important superregional quality newspapers in Germany were selected as being typical for this genre: Frankfurter Rundschau (FR), Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Die Welt (Welt) and Die Tageszeitung (TAZ). Moreover, the Bildzeitung (BILD) was included into the analysis as it is the most widely read tabloid in Germany. In the observation period from 27 June to 23 September 2017 (90 days), each day was coded.
The Campaign Media Content Analysis, TV (GLES 2017) is expected to be released in the course of September.
