¦¦¦¦¦ 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 has set 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 are being conducted in 19 culturally diverse countries, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Egypt, Fiji, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda and the United States. The study has also been 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). Field research has been completed in most of the countries, and first cross-national key findings will be presented in 2009 on this site.
