The Journalism. org web site is the information portal for the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). The goal of PEJ, according to this web site, is to aid journalists and citizens toward a “better understanding of what the press is delivering, how the media are changing, and what forces are shaping those changes”(www. journalism. org/about_pej/about_us). As a part of the Pew Research Center, the PEJ operates as a nonpartisan and non‐ideological “fact tank” utilizing polling and empirical measures to analyze media content.

The Journalism. org homepage presents a well‐organized layout and headlines some of the PEJ's recent reports in several key content areas. These content areas are also listed in the main navigation menu: Numbers, Analysis, News Indexes, and Daily Briefings. A brief list of recent Special Features is also listed on the homepage, including reports on the 2008 Presidential Campaign and the 2009 edition of the State of the News Media.
