Journalism website

The Journalist's Resource is a website that aims to connect journalists with information about recently published academic studies. A project of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, the website features summaries of academic studies written in a journalistic, story-centered style.[1] It was launched in 2010, originally to make it easier for journalism professors to teach about reporting on academic studies, and was redesigned in 2011.[2][3] It is operated by faculty, staff, and graduate students through the Carnegie-Knight Initiative, a partnership between the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.[4]
