Dear Sir,
Greetings.

Sub: Value-based Journalism: A Global Survey of the Perceptions of
Newspaper Journalists

As part of my international community services, I am conducting the
above globalsurvey. The objective of this survey is to examine the
perceptions ofnewspaper journalists on the issue of value-based
journalism intoday's globalization, i.e. which important values guide
them intheir reporting on news, views and analysis? The study
intends togenerate more public awareness and interest on the topic. The
topic ofthe survey is very current and newsworthy.

I have designed a questionnaire to collect data and opinions from the
journalists. The study is purely for academic purposes and the
information collected will be treated strictly confidential.

I seek your members kind co-operation in the completion of this study.
I am receiving some good response from various Journalists Association

this email and questionnaire among your members for their active
particiaption.

seek your kind cooperation in this regard. I want the completed
questionnaire before Dec 25, 2007.

PS: Recently, South Asia Journalists Association in its conference
calls for applying Value-based journalism. However, there is hardly
any empirical survey conducted in this area. This has motivated me to
undertake this survey.
