Big milestone: just submitted a pretty solid draft of my @TowCenter fellowship paper on journalism's imagined audiences. Almost there... (go easy on me @samthielman and @beteprown!)

DM/reply here or follow @MindsEyeProject if you'd like to be notified when it's published.

Hi friends in journalism and academia. Would you mind taking a quick (two multiple choice question) survey to help with my @columbiajourn / @TowCenter fellowship project? Very little thought necessary and it would be a great help. Thanks! https://t.co/UgVE79H40n

A bit of writer's block 20K words in, so time to get out the scissors and try to make sense of it all. (Let me know if you'd like to see an early draft when it's ready!)

"Lacking data about how many people are affected by an event, journalists make impressionistic judgements. One indicator is their perception of the population, which is derived in part from the people they know best." (Gans, "Deciding What's News", p. 75) https://t.co/F3qMnFzSyb

Finally, if you know anyone who'd be interested in this research, introduce us! The more we know our audience, the better our work will be.

[Imagined Audiences @MindsEyeProject]

We're also publishing early drafts of our paper, as it's written. Feel free to take a peek, and share your feedback: https://t.co/n4iGFO8HPA
