GENDER AND THE 2012 ELECTION: []
The mission of the Fourth Estate project is to replace anecdote and speculation about the 2012 Election with visual intelligence based on statistical analysis of the media. Goals of the project include providing insight into the behavior of the candidates in the 2012 election as well as as showing patterns in media behavior including journalists, media outlets and media corporations. Mainstream news reporting tends to be pretty general in nature and often presents data in subjective terms.
