Only 12 percent of public think journalists cover rural people accurately, and only 8 percent of journalists think they do - Entrepreneur Generations

Only 8 percent of journalists and 12 percent of the public think journalists accurately cover people in rural areas, according to the Media Insight Project, a joint effort of the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The finding is part of a poll that also found most people living in rural areas don't think urbanites share their values, and that most urbanites probably think likewise of ruralites.

The poll also gave low marks to coverage of low-income people and grass-roots political movements.
