Das Thema der verzerrten Medienberichterstattung wird in der ökonomischen Literatur meist unter dem Begriff „Media Bias“ zusammengefasst. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick zum Stand der Forschung über Definitionen, Formen, Ursachen, Ansätze zur Messung sowie Folgen von Media Bias. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf hochrangigen internationalen wissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften im Bereich der Ökonomik, die in der letzten Dekade eine Vielzahl an Studien unmittelbar zu diesem Thema veröffentlicht haben (u. a. American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics). Über den Bericht des aktuellen Forschungsstands hinaus identifiziert der Beitrag thematische Schwerpunkte und zentrale Herausforderungen der bisherigen Forschung und benennt Felder für zukünftige Forschung.

More than a century ago, one of the most famous essays ever written in American economics appeared in the Quarterly Journal of Economics: “Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science?” There, Thorstein Veblen claimed that economics was too dominated by a mechanistic view to address the problems of economic life. Since the world and the economy had come to be viewed from an evolutionary perspective after Charles Darwin, it was rather straightforward to argue that the increasingly abstract mathematical character of economics was non-evolutionary. However, Veblen had studied with a first-rate intellect, Charles Sanders Peirce, attending his elementary logic class. If Peirce had written about the future of economics in 1898, it would have been very different than Veblen’s essay. Peirce could have written that economics should become an evolutionary mathematical science and that much of classical and neoclassical economics could be interpreted from an evolutionary perspective.

In the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society (vol. xxxiii. p. 142) is an important paper by Mr. Helland, on Fjords, Lakes, and Cirques in Norway and Greenland. In this he notices a theory of mine on the formation of cirques which was published in the same journal (vol. xxvii. p. 312). As I mentioned in a note attached to his paper, he somewhat misunderstands me, supposing apparently that I describe only cirques of a small size,—the fact being, that, so far as I know, the Alpine cirques are quite commensurate with those of Norway. This, however, is of slight importance. My present purpose is to give reasons why, after further observations in the Alps and Pyrenees, and even in the British Isles, I still prefer the explanation then advanced, that the cirques are mainly produced by the combined erosive action of streamlets, to the one given by Mr. Helland, that a cirque is a result of glacial action.

The publication in the last Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of the most instructive paper by Messrs. S. V. Wood, jun., and F. W. Harmer, on the Later Tertiary Geology of East Anglia, and one by the latter author on the Kessingland Cliff-section, induces me to offer the following remarks, with the hope that my views may be considered by geologists who have made this question their study.

A discussion has more than once arisen, in the course of the last two years, respecting the true position or the quartz conglomerate exposed near Twt Hill, Carnarvon, which was first described by Prof. Bonney and Mr. Houghton in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, vol. xxxv. p. 321. The typical quarry is situated on the S.E. side of the ridge, close underneath Twt Hill, and the exposure there shows the quartz conglomerate in juxtaposition to the granitoid rock that constitutes the axis of the ridge. The authors describe a passage between the granitoidite below and the conglomerate above, and state that the latter “passes lip into a rock which has some resemblance to the bottom rock” (granitoidite). In the GEOL. MAG. for March, 1880, p. 118, Dr. Callaway writes: “Messrs. Bonney and Houghton have detected at Twt Hill a passage between the granitoidite and a quartzose conglomerate with a S.E. dip. I have visited this section, and having examined the rock inch by inch, I can entirely confirm their identification.”

This paper is intended to meet the objections taken by Mr D. Sharpe, in a paper published in theQuarterly Journal of the Geological Society for February1855, to the views of the present writer, and those of several eminent geologists, on the structure of the chain of Mont Blane.De Saussure first described the singular superposition of gneiss to limestone which occurs on the south-east side of the valley of Chamouni, a testimony the more clear from its obvious opposition to the Wernerian views of the period.
