      ab: This article presents information on a study related to the portrait of education in public through mass media. The study described here examined the coverage given to education and related topics on the nightly newscasts of the American Broadcasting Co., CBS Broadcasting Inc. and National Broadcasting Co. Inc. television networks, to determine whether television network news alerted society to the coming crisis in education eventually reported in "A Nation at Risk," the report of the National Commission on Excellence in Education. About 42 percent of all education items occurred in the third quarter of the newscast, with 21 percent in the last quarter, and only 14 percent in the first. An education item was rarely the lead story. There were no internetwork differences in the prominence given to education news. Nearly 30 percent of all network stories about education were under 20 seconds long; about 28 percent were between two and three minutes long. Only 10 percent of the items ran over three minutes. Out-of-studio correspondents handled 53 percent of the education stories, a figure roughly on a par with the amount of correspondent coverage given to other topics.
