Georgia State University professors Dr. Yuki Fujioka and Dr. Cynthia Hoffner, with the assistance of graduate student — and wife of Benyamin Cohen, American Jewish Life magazine editor — Elizabeth Cohen, are conducting research on responses to news about the shootings at Virginia Tech. You have to be 18 years or older to participate in the online survey, which takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

According to the online survey, the researchers “will look at what people viewed and what they thought about the news coverage. What we learn will help us understand how people respond to major news events.”
