Research Partners

The Media Center research network produces top quality research. Network organizations include academic institutions, research companies and non-profit organizations.

The Media Center's partnership with leading ethno-futurists, Glüh, provides continuing field research into social and cultural changes from a global perspective. These researchers track consumer, market and social developments by immersing themselves in "local" culture in around-the-clock analysis. This model answers specific questions on the evolution of news, information and media from a user point-of-view in the short term while identifying longer-term trends and opportunities.

The Media Center has also partnered with BIGresearch, a leading online market research firm. BIGresearch analyzes consumer intentions - past, present and future - to foster more successful decision-making in today's competitive, demand-driven market.

The News Networker is a public, self-published database of research on issues impacting the news industry. It was created to foster communication and collaboration among researchers, and to provide the news industry with an index to relevant research.
