The principal purpose of the research project is to help journalism researchers, policy makers and practitioners better understand the changes that are taking place in the professional orientations of journalists, the constraints under which they work, as well as the social functions of journalism in a changing world. Such a study is especially relevant during a time of dramatic transformations taking place within the institution of journalism. The study therefore aims to assess the state of journalism in Germany, Austria and Switzerland - in relative comparison and in contrast to other societies around the world; to trace changes over time; to detect and map the constraints and influences that shape journalists' work; and to assess the principal factors that shape journalism in the three countries. Another goal is to coordinate ongoing empirical efforts of studying journalists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; to create a timely data infrastructure on the state of journalism and changes within the profession for use in further research and the public domain; as well as to foster international collaboration in journalism research between and beyond Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In addition to contributing to scientific knowledge about journalism, the study therefore aspires to provide a service to the field of practice.Conceptually and methodologically, the study is embedded within the larger comparative framework of the Worlds of Journalism Study, which is a global research endeavor to regularly assess the state of journalism throughout the world. Under the leadership of the main applicant, the Worlds of Journalism Study has brought together researchers from about 90 countries. A second wave of parallelized surveys is currently being carried out until the end of 2014.Research in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be carried out on the basis on a unified research framework. The methodological procedure consists of four major modules: the estimation of the population, interviews with journalists, data consolidation and data analysis, as well as dissemination and outreach. In order to achieve the study's goals, between 850 and 1100 interviews with journalists will be conducted via telephone (CATI) with the help of student research assistants in each of the three countries. The envisaged period of data collection is September to December 2014. Towards the end of the project, we will also organize an international conference in Munich involving researchers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as leading experts in the field. Furthermore, the conference will be opened up to a larger international audience, with a competitive call for papers issued to attract additional attendees working on changes in journalism.

该研究项目的主要目的是帮助新闻研究人员、政策制定者和从业者更好地了解新闻工作者的职业方向正在发生的变化，他们工作的约束，以及新闻在不断变化的世界中的社会功能。在新闻机构内部发生戏剧性变革的时代，这样的研究尤为重要。因此，这项研究旨在评估德国、奥地利和瑞士的新闻业状况——与世界上其他社会进行相对比较和对比；追踪：追踪随时间的变化；发现和描绘影响记者工作的制约因素和影响因素；并评估影响这三个国家新闻业的主要因素。另一个目标是协调正在进行的研究德国、奥地利和瑞士记者的实证工作；创建一个及时的关于新闻业现状和行业变化的数据基础设施，以供进一步研究和公共领域使用；并促进德国、奥地利和瑞士之间的新闻研究国际合作。除了为新闻科学知识做出贡献外，该研究还希望为实践领域提供服务。在概念上和方法上，这项研究被嵌入到新闻世界研究的更大的比较框架中，这是一项全球性的研究，旨在定期评估世界各地的新闻状况。在主申请人的领导下，新闻研究世界汇集了来自约90个国家的研究人员。第二波并行调查目前正在进行，直到2014年底。在德国、奥地利和瑞士的研究将在统一的研究框架的基础上进行。方法程序包括四个主要模块：人口估计、采访记者、数据合并和数据分析以及传播和外联。为了实现研究的目标，在三个国家的学生研究助理的帮助下，将通过电话（CATI）对850至1100名记者进行采访。预计数据收集期为2014年9月至12月。在项目即将结束时，我们还将在慕尼黑组织一次国际会议，与会者包括来自德国、奥地利和瑞士的研究人员以及该领域的主要专家。此外，会议将向更多的国际听众开放，并竞争性地征集论文，以吸引更多致力于新闻业变革的与会者。
