Also in 2007, the Reynolds Center conducted research on the state of stock tables in business pages. This two-part study consisted of a content analysis of 122 daily newspapers last spring and a survey of 27 business editors of larger newspapers. Click here for the full report and analysis.

Another 2007 research project explored the growth of "green" stories found in the nation's top 10 newspapers. The two-part study consisted of a content analysis of newspapers and a survey of business editors at newspapers. Click here for the full report and analysis.

In 2005, we asked journalism educators about their business journalism course offerings at universities nationwide and business editors about their decisions in playing specialized content in their business sections, large and small.

We unveiled the results at the Business Editors Seminar, held in December 2005 by the American Press Institute. Click on the PDF link here, and see for yourself where business journalism coverage and training may be headed into the future!
