In our recently published article at disP “Transforming the Media Exposure of a City through Star Architecture Projects?” we present findings of a media analysis that investigates the extent to which a transformation of exposure in the print media has accompanied the development of star architecture projects in their respective cities. Findings regarding quantitative research of selected international and national newspapers and media platforms are presented. These findings suggest that the hype pertaining to the impact of the volume of media exposure of star architecture projects on their respective cities’ media profile is exaggerated. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02513625.2019.1630187
