I am doing a research project examining print journalists' perceptions of
anthropology as a resource. I want to determine why journalists are
quicker to turn to pstchologists, sociologists, and historians rather
than our discipline for stories/news/background.

I'm looking for any related material, including research on media and
anthropology; articles/theses on "media and anthropology";
communicating anthropology to the public; good/bad experiences with
journalists.

(I'm hoping to quantify what we're all familiar with!)

I am familiar with the (shall we say) "primary source material" in this
field, but all suggestions are welcomed!

(This request also appeared in the Feb, issue ofthe Anthropology
Newsletter.)

Thanks!
