Journalist's Resource

Journalist's Resource is an online platform designed to bridge the gap between journalists and the latest academic research. Founded by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, the site provides easy-to-read summaries of academic studies, crafted in a storytelling format. Launched in 2010, it was initially created to assist journalism educators in teaching how to report on scholarly work and underwent a redesign in 2011. The platform is managed by faculty, staff, and graduate students as part of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative, a collaboration between the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
