Bitcoin lacked mass media coverage in Q2: Report

Major news outlets The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and The New York Times published just 13 articles on Bitcoin in Q2, according to research from Perception.

Mainstream media coverage of Bitcoin and crypto in the second quarter was polarized and lacking in volume despite the cryptocurrency reaching an all-time high, says market intelligence firm Perception.

There were a total of 1,116 articles published by 18 mass media outlets in the second quarter, which revealed a “deeply polarized narrative landscape” in media coverage of digital assets, according to the firm’s report released on Tuesday. 

The report didn’t draw direct comparisons to previous quarters but said the overall sentiment toward Bitcoin (BTC) saw a “dramatic divergence between outlets,” with 31% publishing positive articles, 41% giving neutral coverage, and 28% publishing negative articles.
