2016 Campaign Television Tracker

This is an interesting website that lets you track the candidates running for POTUS in terms of their media coverage. You can use the drop down menu system to select the candidate you want to track, the date range, etc. From there, you can click on the individual date in the graph and it will bring up available media clips for the day selected.

"As part of our efforts to leverage the Internet Archive's Television News Archive for understanding the role of television in politics, we've created the following dashboard, updated each morning, that records how many times each US presidential candidate was mentioned on each of the major television networks monitored by the Archive. These are based on scanning the closed captioning records of each broadcast, so are subject to some degree of error, so absolute counts may contain a certain margin of error. The Archive enforces a 24 hour rolling delay, so the most recent date displayed is 24 hours ago. The Archive currently monitors a selection of national networks (Aljazeera America, Bloomberg, CNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, FOX Business, FOX News, LinkTV, MSNBC) and a growing set of affiliates across the country...."
