The research team investigates the effect of news coverage on decisions of public interest organizations. This project draws on data from newspaper archives and from a survey of public interest organizations to document the effect of news coverage on their structure, strategies and implementation. Unlike prior single-organization studies, this study uses rare, representative data from organizations across the ideological spectrum. These exceptional data allow the investigator to test whether theories based on single-issue samples generalize to other organizations, and to use powerful statistical analysis to identify the different mechanisms for the effects.

研究小组调查了新闻报道对公共利益组织决策的影响。该项目利用报纸档案馆的数据和对公共利益组织的调查，记录新闻报道对其结构、战略和执行的影响。与以前的单一组织研究不同，这项研究使用了来自不同意识形态范围的组织的罕见的、具有代表性的数据。这些特殊的数据使研究人员能够检验基于单一问题样本的理论是否适用于其他组织，并使用强大的统计分析来确定影响的不同机制。
