A landmark study on what people watch and why. The most exhaustive study ever of local TV news -- what helps ratings, what drives viewers away, and what editorial approaches and story-telling techniques most influence viewership.

The Great Recession: How Should Journalism Respond?

Please join the Committee of Concerned Journalists on Monday, March 1st for dinner and a panel discussion with some of the most respected financial journalists in the country.
At CCJ we view this annual meeting as an opportunity for journalists committed to in-depth coverage to take a critical look at how the news media has performed over the past year. The event also serves as an important fundraiser for the organization.
This year tickets are $300 per person and include a gourmet meal. 20 tickets remain for CCJ members at the special price of $100, and we hope to see many of you there.
