Current demographics of online journalists
Hello. I've exhausted all my scholarly and professional resources searching for this one over the past month or two, but perhaps someone on this list can help me. I am attempting to find current numbers of people working specifically in online newsrooms (the "traditional" kind that have offline counterparts, though if Salon were included, I'd take it) and how they are divided by gender and race. I have checked with all the usual suspects -- ONA, ASNE, Pew, API, AOIR archives, Weaver/Wilhoit/Voakes studies, comm abstracts and mass comm. scholarly journals, human resource directors...). If anyone has this information or a link to a good recent study that contains it, would you please email it to me at sthiel1@depaul.edu?

Ok, Nora Paul is key to this. She founded a center for online journalism at the Poynter Institute and I believe the online journalism mailing list. She's now at New Media at the University of Minnesota. Her site is http://www.inms.umn.edu/background/whoswho.html Her mailing list was started at the Poynter Institute. I read it for a couple of years, 1996-1997, back in the dark ages. But all the online journos were hanging out there. Hope this helps. Cheers, Denise ===== Denise N.
