About The Journalist's Resource

The Journalist's Resource is a project of Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center and the Carnegie-Knight Initiative, The Journalist’s Resource curates, summarizes and contextualizes high-quality research on newsy public policy topics. We are supported by generous grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation and individual contributors.

Our mission is to inform the news by bridging the communications gap between academia and journalism. Our goal: to get more high-quality research into the media stream. Our hope is that journalists, in the course of their reporting, will routinely ask this important question: What does the research say? We help them answer that question with accessible summaries of high-quality medical and social science research, articles about standout studies, tip sheets on how to avoid common journalistic pitfalls, explainers on newsy public policy topics, interviews with subject experts, topical comics, interactive graphics and more. We also participate in newsroom collaboratives and offer training in journalism classrooms and at journalism conferences.
