  • 80% of CJR's media professionals are involved in determining the types of news stories and topics that are reported

  • 50% are very involved

PUBLIC ACTIVITIES:

  Pct. Index*
Voted in Federal, State, or Local election 94% 213
Written something that has been published 60% 1,990
Actively worked as a volunteer (non-political) 42% 245
Addressed a public meeting 39% 765
Written to the editor of a magazine or newspaper 33% 760

Actively worked for a political party/candidate 10% 505
Participated in environmental groups/causes 17% 573

*The indices represent the relationship between CJR readers and the MRI U.S. Adults; an index of 100 means there is no difference between them. Thus, an index of 213 means the incidence of "Voting in Federal, State or Local election" among CJR readers is greater than two times that of all U.S. adults.
