University of Miami Professor Bruce Garrison is tracking that growth, and wants journalists to respond to his annual survey. The eight-page questionnaire was sent to the managing editors of all U.S. newspapers with a daily circulation exceeding 20,000. If you have not seen the survey form, ask your managing editor, or contact Garrison at 305-284-2265, or bgarriso@umiamivm.ir.miami.edu.\n\nThe 1994 results showed 29 percent said they had computer-assisted reporting desks, and 30 percent said they plan to add them. Few local broadcast outlets are trying computer-assisted reporting, and, at those that do, the effort comes from the reporter.",
