This article is based off of a study by my co-authors and I entitled "Why do some terrorist attacks receive more media attention than others?"

We looked at news coverage of all terror attacks in the US (as defined by the Global Terrorism Database) between 2006 and 2015. Controlling for target type, fatalities, and being arrested, attacks by Muslim perpetrators received, on average, 357% more coverage than other attacks.
