Media
The World Values Survey data has been used in thousands of scholarly publications and the findings have been reported in media such as Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Guardian, Discover Magazine, China Dialogue, CNN, The Economist, the World Development Report and the Human Development Report of the United Nations.
In 2011, the WVS results on democracy helped many reporters understand the cultural motivations behind the revolts around the Arab world.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
