The Education Writers Association on Sunday released "State of the Education Beat 2016," an examination of trends in journalistic coverage of all levels of education. Among the findings:

  • Reporters are far more likely to be covering both higher education and elementary and secondary education than they are to have a beat focused entirely on higher education.
  • Ninety-five percent of education journalists believe that their work has a positive impact on education.
  • Seventy-one percent of journalists who cover education are women.
  • Seventy-eight percent of journalists who cover education are white.
