The SMC in partnership with the Education and Socio-Economic Research Institute of the University of Seychelles, is extending Seychelles' participation in the Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS) one of the biggest collaborative research projects in the field of journalism. The survey is being carried out locally, by a WJS research investigator.
The survey is being extended until 31st of July 2023 and is available on the following link: https://lsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_elK2ad5dtEk3Xym
The survey is targeting all journalists in the Seychelles. Media houses are therefore being invited to engage journalists to participate in the survey any time until the end of the year 2023. The questionnaire is anonymous, will take about 20 minutes to complete and may be administered either physically (pen to paper) or online. A representative of the research team will be available to oversee the process.
The World Journalism Survey, is a representative survey of journalists in 120+ countries, involving 30,000+ interviews of journalists, and the first survey of a kind implemented in the Seychelles.
The basic idea behind WJS is to administer the same survey to journalists across the world and across time (WJS1 surveys were administered between 2007-2011; WJS2 was 2012-2016; and we will be collecting the data for WJS3, which is taking place between 2021-2023). This allows researchers to make country-by-country comparisons and to see how the state of journalism in each country has changed over time.
