Dear Colleagues, We are researchers from Florida International University. We are conducting a series of studies to examine how people process news messages and the impact of these messages on perceptions and attitudes. We are writing to invite *journalists and journalism educators* to participate in a research project on news perceptions and media literacy. It will take about 15 minutes to complete the study. You will be asked to read a news story and evaluate the story you read. Please note that your participation is completely voluntary and we will not collect identifiable information from you. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to contact us (Dr. Weirui Wang weirwang@fiu.edu; or Dr. Susan Jacobson: sujacobs@fiu.edu). We sincerely appreciate your time and response.
