“…An issue regarding the "quality" of newspapers coverage is the possible use of national stereotypes by journalists. The use of stereotypes to describe or analyze an event pertaining a foreign country is rather common in the media (Seiter, 1986;Gorham, 1999;Park, 2002). When food is the debated issue, as it was at the Milan Expo, stereotypes are frequent.…”

An inertial bias or status quo bias in media industries, as in other markets, means the perpetuation of a certain behaviour or attitude. If mass media frequently address certain issues, an inertial bias means that such issues will be treated again independently of their absolute or relative newsworthiness. This paper studies the inertial media bias in relation to the Milan Expo 2015, an event where, in theory, all participant countries ought to have been considered equal. The empirical analysis considers the articles and reports on the Expo of the two most important online Italian newspapers, Repubblica and Corriere della Sera between May and October 2015. The estimates show that the newspapers devoted more articles and words to the largest countries, while the slant towards the richest countries was less evident. In addition, the tone of the media reports regarding large and rich countries was more positive.

“…Academic research on media bias (which in recent years has been reviewed by Gentzkow et al, 2014;Ferguson, 2016 andLichter, 2017) touches upon these themes, which are explored in more detail by empirical studies on geographical media bias, for example, Park (2002), Branton and Dunaway (2009) and Friebel and Heinz (2014). Another related strand of research explores the links between crime, media coverage and citizens' behaviour.…”

Purpose The representation of economic and financial crimes in the mass media can have a significant impact on readers’ and citizens’ perceptions of illegality and on a firm’s propensity to invest in different areas of the country in question. This paper aims to study the possible geographical media bias regarding tax evasion in Italy. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis considers 618 articles on tax evasion published between 2012 and 2016 in two top Italian newspapers, La Repubblica (based in Rome) and Il Corriere della Sera (based in Milan). Findings Excluding Insular Italy (Sicily and Sardinia), the articles on tax evasion in Southern Italy are systematically shorter. A further analysis shows that La Repubblica is largely responsible for this bias. This result holds after controlling for other events (bank robberies) and for the identity of journalists. Originality/value Previous studies considered the possible media bias regarding particularly dramatic criminal events, for example, terrorism acts or murders. This paper considers a less dramatic though more pervasive crime. In addition, an assessment of media attitude towards tax evasion is more complex, because the news reports both the crime and the successful actions that combat it.
