Study looked at the reporting before and after the trial of George Zimmerman over the death of Trayvon Martin. It also looked at reporting before and after the grand jury decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson over the death of Michael Brown.

Figures do not add up to 100% as some reports did not focus prominently enough on protests to assess framing.
