Coverage of Jackson's death and memorial seems everywhere, generates complaints and massive audience.
From the "Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism." comes the following interesting summary of the ongoing coverage of Michael Jackson's death and Palin's resignation.

"the Jackson story was primarily a television event last week. Cable and network news each devoted 28% of the airtime studied to the story. It was a particularly hot topic on the network morning shows, where it filled 43% of the a.m. newshole studied—the first half hour of those broadcasts."

"Together the Jackson and Palin storylines accounted for about a quarter of the coverage last week, as measured by PEJ’s weekly News Coverage Index, which monitors the coverage in 55 different media outlets. Those two stories, indeed, generated more attention than three events that might fit a more traditional definition of news. The ongoing economic crisis, the skirmishing over health care legislation and President Obama’s Moscow summitry combined to fill 22% of the weekly newshole." (source: www.journalism.org)

The coverage of the Jackson memorial also drew huge numbers to TV news websites. CNN drew nearly 10 million video streams and MSNBC had over 19 million streams.

As noted in our "editors picks" feature, over 35 breaking news alerts have been sent out around Jackson's death. Based on the feedback we have received and on votes on our site, the post death alerts have been see as unnecessary and not real news. We have seen and heard lots of criticism of the seeming blanket coverage of the Jackson death, but the numbers sure indicate that while many complain about what they have to watch , they continue to do so themselves, in record numbers.
