Query: Local News Online and COVID in the U.S.: Relationships among Coverage,
  Cases, Deaths, and Audience   We present analyses from a real-time information monitoring system of online
local news in the U.S. We study relationships among online local news coverage
of COVID, cases and deaths in an area, and properties of local news outlets and
their audiences. Our analysis relies on a unique dataset of the online content
of over 300 local news outlets, encompassing over 750,000 articles over a
period of 10 months spanning April 2020 to February 2021. We find that the rate
of COVID coverage over time by local news outlets was primarily associated with
death rates at the national level, but that this effect dissipated over the
course of the pandemic as news about COVID was steadily displaced by
sociopolitical events, like the 2020 U.S. elections. We also find that both the
volume and content of COVID coverage differed depending on local politics, and
outlet audience size, as well as evidence that more vulnerable populations
received less pandemic-related news.
