<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The State
of the News Media 2004 is an inaugural effort to provide a<BR>comprehensive look
each year at the state of American journalism.<BR><BR>Our goal is to put in one
place as much original and aggregated data as<BR>possible about each of the
major journalism sectors.<BR><BR>For each area, we have produced original
research and aggregated existing<BR>data into a comprehensive look at many of
the pressing issues facing the<BR>news media. In addition, we have collected the
statistical data in an<BR>interactive area called Charts & Tables where
users can customize their own<BR>charts.<BR><BR>The study is the work of the
Project for Excellence in Journalism, an<BR>institute affiliated with Columbia
University Graduate School of Journalism.<BR>The study is funded by the Pew
Charitable Trusts, and was produced with a<BR>number of partners, including Rick
Edmonds, Andrew Tyndall, Esther Thorson,<BR>and Princeton Survey Research
Associates International.</FONT><BR><BR><BR></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
