    This paper examines the impact of outdoor temperature on media bias. We use 12 years of daily hand-coded data on the tonality of news broadcast by the three major US news networks, ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News, all headquartered in New York City, and merge it with granular, geospatial weather data. Our identification strategy exploits detailed variations in local daily high temperatures to estimate the effect of heat on media bias in news reporting about the Republican and Democratic parties, controlling for time and network-month fixed effects. We find a positive effect of a substantial magnitude: a 1°C increment in daily maximum temperature on a hot day (>25°C) leads to a 20% increase in the media bias measured as the difference in the share of negative news about the Republicans and the Democrats. This effect exists only for maximum temperatures, as opposed to minimum or average temperatures. The results are robust to placebo tests using past or future temperatures. Our findings extend the previously established link - from hot temperatures to negative affect and a decline in cognitive ability - to the determinants of media bias.

    Were government bond risk premia affected by the media in addition to the effects of major events? Revisiting the European debt crisis, we analyze the role of television news in the rise and re-convergence of GIIPS bond spreads vis-à-vis Germany from 2007 to 2016. We use a dataset of more than one million human-coded news items from leading newscasts worldwide to identify over 25,000 news on the Eurozone and country-specific economic topics. Our findings emphasize the relevance of the tonality of news, such that an increasing share of positive (negative) news correlates with a decrease (increase) in spreads. Content-based endogenous clustering of news highlights the importance of news about institutions providing stability and “international financial support” to distressed countries in reducing bond spreads. Moreover, weekend news enables us to establish a causal link between country-specific news coverage and changes in spreads on the subsequent trading day.

    Tonalität ist eines der herausragenden prosodischen Mittel, das traditionell in der Poesie afrikanischer Tonsprachen eingesetzt wird, und Sprachminiaturen (z.B. Sprichwörter und Rätsel) gehören nicht zuletzt ausweislich ihrer weit verbreiteten tonalen Reimcharakteristik viel eher zur afrikanischen Poesie als etwa zur Prosa, wie es bislang herrschende Meinung war.
