Research terms and where?

To research the questions that i want answered i am mainly going to be actually talking with the professionals themselves. a lot of my questions deal with the profession itself, and who better to ask then the people who are already there and doing what i hope to do. a few of my questions can probably be answered online, in areas such as CNN.com, or anywhere that does statistical information. many polls show who and what im looking for so those would be helpful as well
