CQ RESEARCHER
CQ Researcher is often the first source that librarians recommend when researchers are
seeking original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues in the news. Founded in
1923 as Editorial Research Reports, CQ Researcher is noted for its in-depth, unbiased
coverage of health, social trends, criminal justice, international affairs, education, the
environment, technology, and the economy. Reports are published weekly in print and
online 44 times a year by CQ Press, a division of SAGE Publications.
Each single-themed, 12,000-word report is researched and written by a seasoned journalist.
The consistent, reader-friendly organization provides researchers with an introductory
overview; background and chronology on the topic; an assessment of the current situation;
tables and maps; pro/con statements from representatives of opposing positions; and
bibliographies of key sources.
CQ Researcher received the American Bar Association's 2002 Silver Gavel Award for a ninepart series on liberty and justice issues, as well as the prestigious Sigma Delta Chi Award for
Journalism Excellence in 1999 for a ten-part series on health care.
