National Arts Journalism
Program's Groundbreaking Study Analyzes Arts Coverage in 10
Cities, 3 National Dailies, Network News and the Associated
Press
Media coverage of television, movies and music dominate arts
news at the expense of dance, architecture and the visual
arts, and newspapers have come to rely on listings-heavy weekend
sections as they struggle to keep pace with America's thriving
arts scene. These are some of the findings of "Reporting
the Arts, News Coverage of Arts and Culture in America,"
a research report just released by the National Arts Journalism
Program at Columbia University.
