Based at Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center, The Journalist's Resource (journalistsresource.org) examines public policy news topics through a research lens. In clear, simple language, we provide journalists with a way to get up to speed on research on complex problems and their potential solutions. 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.Everything we offer is free of charge. We publish our written materials under a Creative Commons license so anyone anywhere can use and share them at no cost, provided appropriate credit is given. Now in our second decade, we have become an invaluable source of support, information and content for thousands of journalists worldwide.
