THE REUTERS INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF JOURNALISM

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ) was established in 2006 within Oxford University to build on the Reuters Foundation Journalist Fellowship Programme that began in 1983. It now combines the Journalist Fellowship Programme with a research centre in international journalism and a commitment to lead debate on the future of journalism through a series of events and publications bringing together academics, journalists and policymakers to share their perspectives on the critical issues facing the industry. All these activities are described in more detail below. This Research Review is organised to help the reader gain a sense of the history, organisation, funding, personnel, publications, and research focus and output of the RISJ to date. In addition, our aim here is to provide an indication of our future plans as we enter the second phase of the Institute.
