The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism was established in autumn 2006, with core funding from the Thomson Reuters Foundation, and is part of the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. At the heart of the Institute is the long-standing Thomson Reuters Fellowship Programme for visiting journalists, now in its 27th year, and based at Green Templeton College. The Institute builds on this tradition and is now a university research centre of excellence.
The Institute is dedicated to the rigorous, international comparative study of journalism. Our publications present findings, analysis and recommendations from leading experts from both academic and practitioner backgrounds.
The first six titles in our CHALLENGES series are now available for download.
The Journalist Fellowship Programme brings well-established mid-career journalists from around the world to Oxford to meet and pursue their research interests.
