¦¦¦¦¦ The Project in Brief
Welcome to the home of the Worlds of Journalisms project. On this site we provide information about the project's background, objectives and organizational structure as well as the theoretical approach and research design.

The study Worlds of Journalisms sets out to tap into the frequently used but rarely elaborated concept of journalism culture. The overall objective of the project is to map journalistic cultures onto a grid of common dimensions and explore their variation across nations, various types of news organizations and different professional milieus. Another goal is to identify the driving forces behind the still existing differences in journalistic cultures.

National surveys will be conducted in 17 culturally diverse countries, including Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Fiji, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda and the United States. The study will also be applied to a sub sample of foreign correspondents covering the European Union.
The study is mainly funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The first wave of surveys is currently underway, and first findings will be presented in 2008.
