Survey of American journalists
The Knight Foundation also sponsored The American Journalist Today survey, carried out by researchers at the School of Journalism at Indiana University, which found that the Internet is now vital to journalists at work. Journalists are using the Net to talk to readers, download data, do background checks, get news releases and research story facts. Find the survey at http://www.knightfdn.org/default.asp?story=news_at_knight/special_reports/americanjournalist/2003_04_10_aj.html.
