The GoodWork Project in Journalism was our initial foray in this set of investigations.
The project examined how journalists cope with the opportunities, tensions, and challenges
posed by technological advances in communication (i.e., the internet) and an increasingly
profit-oriented media market.
The project consisted of the following threads:
- Veteran Journalists study (1997-98): We interviewed 62 creative leaders and
mid-career journalists in broadcast, print, internet, and documentary medias
between the ages of 30-80+ years of age.
- Young Journalists study (1999-2000): As part of the Young Professionals Project,
we interviewed a total 32 young journalists: 20 individuals between the ages of
21and 34, and 12 individuals between the ages of 15 and 20.
- Lineages in Journalism (1998-2000): As part of the Transmission of Excellence
Project, we interviewed three generations of journalists.
- Traveling Curriculum for Good Work in Journalism: Based on our research, and in
collaboration with Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel of the Committee of Concerned
Journalists, William Damon has developed a "traveling curriculum" for newsrooms.
