Weaver says the team is hoping for 1,000 respondents from that sample, as well as an additional, separate sample of 500 minority and on-line journalists.
Weaver says obtaining respondents is one of the hardest parts of the study, both when asking editors to supply employee lists and when interviewing the sampled journalists.
Weaver says the sampling process has already revealed large decreases in the number of journalists working for dailies, newsmagazines and wire services, and big increases in the number of newspeople at weekly newspapers and television stations.
