September 2004
When Newsweek did a cover-story package on Health for Life this
month, they discussed two recent Ohio State studies that shed
light on how Americans could live healthier. That coverage was
one highlight in a good month for coverage of Ohio State faculty.
This report reviews all of the major coverage of Ohio State in
the top 50 U.S. markets (excluding reports in the Ohio media
and athletics game stories) and selected international outlets.
News service distributions (Associated
Press, United Press International, Reuters) cited in some items suggest probable coverage by
other newspapers, radio, and television stations not monitored
by the university.
