Data in this report are drawn from separate analyses, each with its own methodology: a survey conducted July 8-August 18, 2014, among a representative sample of adult residents in each city; an analysis of news content; an audit of local news providers; interviews with individuals in each community from local government, civic life, business, academia and journalism and a social media analysis.
