Al Jazeera’s Protest World – 2017 (daily headlines)

May 25, 2018

By counting all the countries that appeared in the protest headlines of each channel and by quantifying the frequency of their appearance, the Screening Protest Project has created a ‘map of protest’ as drawn by each broadcaster. The above map shows all the countries that appeared in AJE’s protest headlines in 2017. In the 346 AJE daily broadcasts* analyzed for 2017, the SP team identified 160 headlines that mentioned and/or showed protest. 

This map includes not only the countries where protests took place but all the countries that were mentioned by the anchor in a headline about protest (thus, presented as connected one way or another to the protest in focus). At the same time, not all countries appeared equally frequently in the protest headlines, and this difference is marked on the map through different shades of orange, in this case (the colour assigned to AJE). 

*Due to technical reasons, some of the AJE recordings from 2017 were unavailable.
