RTDNA's robust research on key issues impacting journalism
Each year, RTDNA partners with the Newhouse School at Syracuse University to produce a robust survey around relevant topics like diversity, innovation, salary data and more.
The most recent survey (2024) was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2023 among all 1,876 operating, non-satellite television stations and a random sample of 4,764 radio stations. The television response rate is different for every question, but Valid responses came from as many as 1,387 television stations (73.9%) and 631 radio news directors and general managers representing 1,902 radio stations. Some data sets (e.g. the number of TV stations originating local news, getting news from others and women TV news directors) are based on a complete census and are not projected from a smaller sample.
