Reuters Institute

for the Study of Journalism

Location:

Oxford University's Centre for Research into News Media

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.

Publications

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.

Fellowships

The Journalist Fellowship Programme brings well-established mid-career journalists from around the world to Oxford to meet and pursue their research interests.

“The Fellowship led to the publication of my paper on the resurgence of tuberculosis by the Royal College of Physicians (Edinburgh) – its first major publication by a lay author in 300 years – which was distributed to the WHO by the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.”
