  1. 40Mello (2019) supports this choice by noting that the percent differences tend to be more dispersed for smaller than for larger cities, perhaps because the number of crimes and arrests is increasing with city size. We follow the same size categories: 10,000-15,000, 15,000-25,000, 25,000-50,000, 50,000-100,000, 100,000-250,000, and >250,000. 78 Google Trends Data The Google Trends API normalizes the search interest between 0 and 100 for the time and location of each query. In particular, each data point is divided by the total searches of the geography and time range it represents to compare relative popularity. [...] The resulting numbers are then scaled on a range of 0 to 100 based on a topic’s proportion to all searches on all topics (Stephens-Davidowitz, 2014). We modify the script provided byGoldsmith-Pinkham and Sojourner (2020) to query the Google trends API. Importantly, the Google trends API limits the number of geographic locations per query to five.

  4. Appendix B – Data Cleaning Newscast Transcripts Separating Newscasts into News Stories. We segment each newscast into separate stories using an automated procedure based on content similarity across sentences. We begin by selecting the number of stories each newscast is composed of using texttiling (Hearst, 1997), an algorithm that divides texts into passages by identifying shifts in content based on word co-occurrence. We then divide sentences into passages using the Content Vector Segmentation methodology proposed by Alemi and Ginsparg (2015), which identifies content shifts by leveraging the representation of sentences into a vector space using word embeddings. In addition, we show that our results are robust to a simple segmentation procedure that separates the newscast into stories of 130 words, based on the fact that the average person speaks at around 130 words per minute.

  23. For each city, we fit the time series of crimes and clearances 2009-2017 using a local linear regression with bandwidth two. We compute the absolute value of the percent difference between actual and predicted values (adding 0.01 to the denominators to avoid dealing with zeros) and identify an observation to be a record error if the percent difference exceeds a given threshold. The threshold is computed as the 99th percentile of the distribution of percent differences for cities within a population group.40 We substitute observations that are identified as record errors using the predicted value from the time-series regression. We follow this procedure to clean the crime and clearance series of each type of crime (property, violent, murder, assault, robbery, rape, burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft). Overall, around 1% of observations are substituted using this procedure.

Panel (a) shows the average share of a municipality’s crime stories that are about violent crimes (i.e. murder, assault, rape, and robbery) and property crimes (i.e. burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft). Panel (b) shows the average number of crime stories per reported offense across municipalities. Note that this does not exactly correspond to the probability that a crime of a given type appears in the news because we have information on news coverage only for one randomly selected day per week. In both graphs, the sample is restricted to 2010 and to media market that never experience Sinclair entry.

  64. Population smoothing. To define crime rates we use a smoothed version of the population count included in the UCRs, again following the crime literature. In particular, we fit the population time series of city using a local linear regression with a bandwidth of 2 and replace the reported population with the predicted values. This is necessary because population figures are reported yearly, but tend to jump discontinuously in census years (Chalfin and McCrary (2018)).

  69. Sheriffs are the only law enforcement heads that can be elected as well as appointed, again depending on the state. Finally, the FBI has jurisdiction over federal crimes (i.e. crimes that violate U.S. federal legal codes or where the individual carries the criminal activity over multiple states). However, most crimes are prosecuted under state criminal statutes. Owens (2020) explains in detail the functioning of law enforcement agencies in the United States.

  73. Standard errors are clustered at the media market level. The dataset is a municipality by year panel. Treatment is defined at the year level. A media market is considered treated in a given year if Sinclair was present in the market in the January of that year. Panel A includes the full sample; Panel B restricts the sample to municipalities that experience at least one assault, one robbery, and one rape in every year. Covered municipalities are municipalities that are mentioned in the news more than the median municipality in 2010. Clearance rates are defined as total number of crimes cleared by arrest or exceptional means over total number of crimes, winsorized at the 99% level.

A media market is considered treated in a given year if Sinclair was present in the market in the January of that year. In Panel A, reports outcomes are defined as crime rates; in Panel B, outcomes are defined as indicator variables for experiencing at least one crime. Covered municipalities are municipalities that are mentioned in the news more than the median municipality in 2010. Crime rates are defined as crimes per 1,000 people under an inverse hyperbolic sine transformation, and are winsorized at the 99% level.

  78. Stories are defined to be local if they mention at least one of the municipalities with more than 10,000 people in the media market. 49 Appendix Figure IV: Map of Media Markets Included in the Content Sample Notes: This map shows the share of stations for which we have content data continuously from 2010-2017 across media markets in the United States. Darker colors correspond to higher shares of media market stations included in the content data. 61% of media market have at least one station included in our sample, and for 88% of them the sample includes more than half of the stations present in the market.

  79. The characteristics included are log population, share male, share male between 15 and 30, share over 55, share white, share Hispanic, share with 2 years of college, log median income, share of population below the poverty rate, share unemployed, log municipality area, and Republican vote share in the 2008 presidential election. Standard errors are clustered at the media market level. The dataset is a municipality by year panel.

  80. To create a balanced sample, we exclude municipalities that do not continuously report crime data to the FBI 2010-2017 (236 municipalities) and do not have at least one violent and one property crime in every year (29 municipalities). This leaves us with 2358 municipalities. The empirical strategy requires restricting the sample to municipalities located in media markets included in the content data (which further drops 601 municipalities) and the regressions drops 5 singleton municipalities (Correia (2015)). The final sample includes 1752 municipalities.

  81. Treatment is defined at the year level. A media market is considered treated in a given year if Sinclair was present in the market in the January of that year. Covered municipalities are municipalities that are mentioned in the news more than the median municipality in 2010. Clearance rates are defined as total number of crimes cleared by arrest or exceptional means over total number of crimes. Clearance rates are winsorized at the 99% level.
