by Paula J. Hane
As Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepared for their first debate on Oct. 3, 2012, the issues at the top of the voters' agenda have changed little since 2008, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Conducted Sept. 12-16 among 3,019 adults, including 2,424 registered voters, the results show that 87% of registered voters say that the economy will be very important to their vote, while 83% say jobs will be very important to their vote.

Internet Archive Opens TV News Section
by Barbara Quint
The Internet Archive opened a section titled TV News Search & Browse devoted to television news broadcasts. The initial launch includes 3 years dating from 2009 with a broad range of sources, more than the Vanderbilt Television News Archive, though Vanderbilt's files extend back to Aug. 5, 1968. The new collection began with about 356,000 news programs from all the national U.S. networks and local stations in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. It updates with a 24-hour delay.
