| Newswise and Staff Reporters |
| This month we describe the demographics of subscribing journalists who are on staff at a publication, broadcast facility, news service, or website. See the results below.
(In the April/May Monthly Report, we examined freelance journalists who subscribed to Newswise.) |
| About this Report |
| In this report, we've included information on staff journalists, feedback from journalists at Vancouver Sun, ABC Radio and many other media outlets, and success stories from participating institutions. We encourage your feedback (see suggestion box). It helps us to evaluate Newswise and make changes to better suit your needs. We look forward to hearing from you. |

Newswise and Staff Journalists Con't. |
Of the 4,068 Newswise subscribing journalists, 75% (3,036) are on staff at a media outlet. Seventy-three percent of these are US-based and 27% are international. As Newswise is constantly expanding to include more journalists and publications, these numbers change daily. On average, we add 60 new press passes each month.
The media outlets for which these "staff" journalists write can be divided into the following categories:
| Category | Num. of Reporters | Num. of Media Outlets |
| Newspaper | 817 (27%) | 363 (23%) |
| Trade Magazine | 593 (10%) | 381 (24%) |
| TV/Radio | 556 (18%) | 301 (19%) |
| Magazine | 489 (16%) | 191 (12%) |
| Online | 258 (9%) | 162 (10%) |
| Wire Service/News Service | 117 (4%) | 64 (4%) |
| Newsletter | 74 (2%) | 68 (4%) |
| Academic Journal | 71 (2%) | 26 (2%) |
| Publisher | 54 (2%) | 33 (2%) |
