This study intends to address these crucial omissions. Its central objective is to assess the relative influence of political forces on journalistic cultures around the world across individual, organizational and national levels of analysis. Research questions for this analysis are: Which political influences are of primary importance in shaping journalistic cultures? Does a hierarchy of influences exist in terms of their relative importance? The analysis is based on interviews with 1700 journalists from approximately 350 news organizations in 17 countries. The study was simultaneously conducted in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Egypt, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda and the United States.
