Heads of regions in the media
September 29 -- October 29, 2010
“Politicians Through the Eyes of the Media,” a joint project of “Vremya Novostei” and the “Medialogia” company, are ratings of political figures who are most actively discussed in the federal press and on central TV channels.“Politicians through the Eyes of the Media” are published weekly: over the course of a month, you can sequentially familiarize yourself with the ratings of governors of the Russian Federation, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, ministers of the Russian Federation and heads of foreign states and governments. The ratings are also published on the publication’s website: www.vremya.ru.
The ratings reflect both the total number of publications per month and the level of information favorability in relation to each political person. The Information Favorability Index (IFI) is calculated based on the nature of references to a person (positive, negative, neutral), the significance of the message and the influence of the media.
