Every year, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism conducts an annual report on American Journalism. This one-hour Webinar explores key findings of the 2011 report.

The Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism gathers in one place as much data as possible about all the major sectors of journalism, identifies trends across media, marks key findings, delves deeply into each sector and notes areas for further inquiry. We cover some of these key findings in this Webinar.
