Reuters Institute For The Study Of Journalism

United Kingdom · Research Services

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is dedicated to exploring the future of journalism worldwide through debate, engagement, and research. We believe in the value of independent journalism, the power of news, and the importance of an informed public. We are committed to the timeless journalistic aspiration of seeking truth and reporting it, as well as the ongoing work of remaking the profession and the organisations that enable it. Our focus is on journalism, the media industry, and the public that they serve. By connecting practice and research, by facilitating global exchange, and by driving conversations around the future of news, we work to ensure that journalists, editors, and media executives face the opportunities and challenges of a changing media environment from a position of strength. Our goal is to help them build better and more sustainable journalism for tomorrow. The Institute hosts journalists from all over the world, connects them with professional peers and leading academics from a wide range of different fields, and facilitates the exchange of ideas by taking part in public debates, by hosting conversations, and by publishing new and interesting work. Our activities include: Our Journalist Fellowship programme, which brings high calibre mid-career practising journalists to Oxford and offers them a period of reflection and an opportunity to carry out a piece of relevant in-depth research. Our leadership programmes, which gather editors, executives, and journalists in leadership roles in small, intimate, off-the-record settings to engage with each other and benefit from current research relevant to the challenges they face. Our research programmes, which provide timely, accessible, and evidence-based independent analysis of issues facing journalism and news media around the world, and include our own series of publications, as well as more specialised academic articles and books.
