Overview

The Reuters Institute’s research focus is the international, comparative study of journalism. All our research plans for the coming years will aim to build on RISJ’s strong comparative dimension, make full use of the experience of the international practitioners and visitors who come to the institute, and combine academic rigour with relevance to the most significant issues facing journalists, media companies and those concerned about the interaction between media and society. On occasions we will conduct research alone but we will often seek partnerships with other institutes in Oxford and with a range of international organisations, funding bodies and research centres.

Our new research strategy is to be organised around three broad
areas of focus:

• The Business of Journalism

• The Evolving Practice of Journalism

• Relationships between Journalism and Accountability
