EPISODE 42: PUBLIC OPINION AND MEDIA RESEARCH IN THE DIGITAL AGE

From measuring American news consumption and media attitudes broadly, to analyzing coverage of newly-inaugurated presidents, Pew Research Center examines critical trends at the intersection of journalism and politics.  What do recent Pew Research Center studies on journalism and media tell us about the state of democracy in the U.S.? How has studying the media industry changed in the digital age? On Episode 42 of “The Future of Democracy,” Director of Journalism Research Amy Mitchell will join Knight’s John Sands to explore recent Pew Research Center work and how media research can be used to better understand our country’s most pressing issues.
