Hillary Clinton received more media exposure than any other presidential candidate in the days surrounding the New Hampshire primary, according to a new study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism.

The survey found that 37% of campaign stories between Jan. 6 and Jan. 11 "were either significantly or mainly about" Clinton. Barack Obama followed with 32%, while John McCain was third at 24%. Mitt Romney received 19% of stories.

The New Hampshire primary was held on Jan. 8.

Democrats, meanwhile, received substantially more coverage as a group, 43%, than the 32% Republicans had, with 19% about both parties, the report said.
