"The JSG project aims to conduct simultaneous surveys of journalism students around the world, with the aim of providing as large a variety of countries as possible, and representing all inhabited continents … The professional values and attitudes of journalism can be learned and internalized by journalists by way of living different experiences in a variety of settings and by interacting with multiple sources, including those stemming from professional educational settings (Preston, 2009; Shoemaker and Reese, 1996). It is therefore crucial to investigate the ways in which journalism education influences students’ perceptions of and attitudes to their future profession, as arguably they would carry them into their career as journalists … all this points to the necessity of conducting a global study of journalism students in order to ascertain the extent to which a university education shapes their professional views, as well as the extent to which these views may be similar or different across different cultural settings." - http://goo.gl/OcXkBL
