WORLDS OF JOURNALISMS, FIRST DATA AVAILABLE
First comparative data from the Worlds of Journalisms project is now
available for download from the project web site at
http://www.worldsofjournalisms.org.
The Worlds of Journalisms study set out to compare journalism cultures
across nations, news organizations and professional milieus. Another major
goal was to identify the driving forces behind still existing differences in
journalistic cultures. The data is based on interviews with 1800 journalists
working for 356 news organizations in 18 countries.
The study is one of the largest collaborative endeavors of journalism
scholars from different countries. These countries include: Australia,
Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Egypt, Germany, Indonesia, Israel,
Mexico, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda and the United
States.
