		Journalists, academics, and politicians routinely cite coverage as influential in the rise and fall of leaders, the polling performance of parties, the emergence of particular issues during campaigns – even outcomes on voting day.
		Finally, by comparing trends in positive and negative coverage of parties with opinion polls, it is possible to get a sense of whether the press is leading or following public opinion in the campaign.
		The net result of this content analysis was, we hope, an accurate and valuable perspective on the role of print media and individual print outlets in a major election campaign.
