Abstract	This report examines how media covered the critical race theory (CRT) debate in schooling through an analysis of all news articles published between September 2020 and August 2021 by four major newspapers (the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today) and three major education press outlets (Education Week, the 74, and Chalkbeat). This report focuses on four relatively discrete questions: (1) How often were concerns about CRT's intellectual foundations, such as its skepticism of rationality and objectivity, mentioned?; (2) How often were controversial CRT-aligned instructional practices mentioned?; (3) How often did stories about laws passed to limit CRT (frequently referenced as "CRT bans") actually quote the language of the laws in question?; and (4) What was mentioned in news coverage of CRT?
