research strategies in journalism

Primary and/or secondary research is basic to all branches of journalism. Providing students with frequent opportunities to develop and hone their observation, interviewing, and library skills provides them with tools they will use regardless of the subfield they choose to pursue.
  • Quickstudy: Library Research Guide: a series of online tutorials designed to help students become familiar with research at the University. 

  • Journalism-specific Research Guide: a menu of resources, books, and writing guides particular to journalism students from data collection to online news sources, including reference indexes and Internet sites, scholarly articles, and popular culture and mass media articles.

  • LUMINA'S Journalism Reference Page: a menu of links to almanacs, biographical sources, data resources, and other reference materials.

  • The Digital Information Resource Center/Eric Sevareid Library: a U of M collection housing books and periodicals specific to journalism and mass communication.

  • The Digital Elements of Storytelling: a site exploring research of media, action, relationship, context, and communication.

  • Journalism Resources: an annotated listing of resources compiled in support of academic journalism departments and professional journalists from cyberjournalism to media law to race and gender in journalism. The University of Iowa hosts this site.

  • Media Studies Resources: a compilation of resources about general and mixed media resources, radio, television, digital media hypertext, cybernetics, cyborgs and virtual realities.

  • Advertising Resources: a compilation of resources from Nineteenth Century trade cards to the Neilsen ratings.
