The State of the News Media 2011 is Pew’s eighth edition of their annual report on the health and status of American journalism. The report includes a series of special sections: a survey on how people use mobile technology to get local news; a report comparing the U.S. newspaper industry with the rest of the world’s; and two reports on community news websites. Released in March, the report is the work of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, a nonpolitical, nonpartisan research institute funded by the Pew Charitable Trust.
