Since 2003, the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture has partnered with Kathleen Tyner from The University of Texas at Austin to conduct national surveys of youth media organizations in the United States. The surveys measure topics related to best practices and organizational capacity. Results provide evidence that can be used for youth media field building activities. A report of the results for the 2013 Mapping the Field survey are available in the April 2015 issue of Youth Media Reporter.
