　　This research aims to reveal recent trends of journalism studies in Japan Society for Studies in Journalism and Mass Communication, the Society in what follows. I analyzed individual and collaborative presentations made during the Society’s workshops, which take place twice a year in spring and fall, in addition to peer-reviewed papers in the academic journal Mass Communication Studies, which is published about twice a year. This investigation covers the last 16 years from 2000 to 2015. 　　The analysis of the 394 presentations showed that: ① Eighty-four of them（ or 21％） are“ reporting/journalism related.” ② Graduate students made about two thirds （64％） of the “reporting/journalism related” presentations. ③ Twenty-nine presentations focus on “newspapers,” allowing them to have a central position among the 4 major mass media. 　　The analysis of the 195 papers revealed that: ① Twenty-seven of them（ or 14％） are“ reporting/journalism related.” ② Graduate students wrote half of all papers. ③ Forty-four percent of all papers focus only on newspapers; 11％ only on tele vision; and 7％ both on newspapers and television. ④ Half of all papers were written based on “examinations” of “reported content.”
