PEJ Releases First New Media Index Report

Bloggers Ponder Every Aspect of Obama's Inauguration


Today marks the inaugural edition of a new feature by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism: The New Media Index, a weekly report that examines how the most-discussed news on blogs and other social media sites compares with the mainstream press.

The New Media Index is a companion to our weekly News Coverage Index which monitors the more mainstream press. The New Media Index will be a regular Friday feature on PEJ's website, Journalism.org.
