State Demographics: (Includes Faultlines) (As of 2006 US Census)

Based on the late Robert C. Maynard's belief that the five fault lines of race, class, gender, generation and geography are the most enduring forces shaping lives, experiences and social tensions in this country, the Maynard Institute's Fault Lines framework helps journalists build a more diverse source list, have more voices in stories and determine which fault lines are at work in complex issues. The Institute's Fault Lines framework can be used as a quick checklist or brainstorming tool for planning coverage of state primaries and the presidential election based on the character of the communities they serve.
