I have a few research questionnaires to be answered by members of the  media circle and students.  Incorporate full names. 

1. Has social media led to a realigment of news values?

2. How has social media affected circulation?

3. What impact has the speedy demand for news had on advertisers, are they going online?

Pass send questionaires to your reporter friends and colleagues.
