Abstract
This chapter draws on nearly 40 years of journalism and media research that I have conducted at Indiana University with many colleagues and students. This includes four major national surveys of US journalists; studies of media and voter learning in five US presidential elections; studies of media agenda setting in elections; and other research on newspaper readership, foreign news coverage, foreign correspondents, and press freedom in various countries.
