The material comes from The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) project in the Norman Lear Center at USC Annenberg. The mission of the IJPC is to investigate and analyze through research and publication the conflicting images of journalists in film, television, radio, fiction, commercials, cartoons, comic books, music, art, video games and other aspects of popular culture demonstrating their impact on the public’s perception of newsgatherers. It was founded in 2000 by Joe Saltzman, professor of journalism at the USC Annenberg School for Communication. Today, the IJPC Web site (ijpc.org) and the IJPC Database are considered the definitive worldwide sources for this subject and are used on a daily basis by scholars, students and professionals who want to do more research in this area.
