Hello!

I invite you to participate in a survey I am conducting on consumer bias and the news media as part of a research paper I am doing for my Masters Level Research Methods class at Amberton University. Your responses are vital to my research project and will only take about 3 minutes of your time to answer 10 total questions. Participation is voluntary and your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.

Thank you in advance for your time and support with this, and please feel free to forward this survey on to anyone else you think might be interested in participating. I am attempting to get 100 completed surveys from Americans who are 18 years or older.

Please start with the survey by clicking on the Continue button below.

Lastly if you are interested in seeing the results of the survey or have any questions about this survey please contact me via email me at [email protected] and I will answer your questions or forward you the findings once the survey and analysis has been completed.

Very Respectfully,

Curt Kolvet
Student, Department of Human Relations and Business
