Positive coverage has been an exception.

This has changed in 2010. From May onwards, weaker than expected growth figures, unemployment, wavering consumer confidence and the growing trade deficit have led to the US channels' economic perception declining in unison.

For the FDP the departure of Merz signals the loss of a minister who has seldom performed to the media standards of his peers. For the SP, Leuenberger´s ratings hiccup in January was a rare blemish on a solid image.

One challenge common to the two parties will be the need for solid communication flow if they are to counter SVP rhetoric on their right to &quotsecond&quot seat. For all parties, there is also the need to be wary of any backlash in the media which could influence upcoming parliamentary elections.

At the same time, BP appears to be able to finally plug the hole in its damaged well. This stopped BP from dropping further on the share market, and has slowed buyout and takeover speculation.

Pre-election optimism has not led to a lasting trend, since state spending and debt reduction plans have proven no substitute for a full recovery plan.

However, outside sport, accidents and catastrophes, countries like Argentina or Indonesia rarely make it onto the world stage - politically and economically these countries are virtually invisible. This raises questions of how the media could better support the efforts of those countries not at the top of the rich list.

The question is whether the talk around the debt crisis, which is leading to dollar favorability, is really giving enough information on the true character of the dollar at this time - or are anaylsts supporting the dollar in lieu of better options?

With BP's agenda not previously defended by consistent presence, the reputational damage is considerable. The CSR oriented approach to the crisis - focused on recruiting fishermen and ensuring that the company would take responsibility for the spill - has done little to help. As soon as the government assigned responsibility to BP, the public anger was always going to follow.

The tempo and the immediate threat to human lives are two key reasons. Another is that the blame for the disaster has been very quickly moved into the corporate sphere.

This raises the question of whether MENA media haven taken Al-Bashir‘s side in his conflict with ICC by covering-over the "war criminal" label with a domectic news focus ?

Otherwise there is little difference in Clegg and Cameron´s topic ratings. It may be too late for Brown to defend his issues especially following his high profile gaff last week.
