About us
The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, established in autumn 2006, is based at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. The Thomson Reuters Foundation has supported a programme of visiting fellowships for journalists from around the world based at what is now Green Templeton College in Oxford since 1983. The RISJ builds on this tradition and is now a university research centre for international comparative journalism. Anchored in the recognition of the key role of independent media in open societies and the power of information in the modern world, the Institute aims to serve as the leading forum for a productive engagement between scholars from a wide range of disciplines and the practitioners of journalism. It brings the depth and rigour of academic scholarship of the highest standards to major issues of relevance to the world of practice of news media. It is global in its perspective and in the content of its activities. Its expanded activities include short-term and long-term research projects, a regular series of seminars, workshops, annual conferences, debates and innovative curricular development, both independently and in meaningful collaboration with other centres in Oxford University and with the global world of practice.

✂️ NEW PIECE: Our reporter Marina Adami and our former Journalist Fellow Natalia Zhdanova spoke to five journalists from Voice of America, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia to find out how the gutting of the US Agency for Global Media, which funds the organisations, is affecting the people they employ. The journalists describe surprise at the announcement of the cuts and their extent, worry about their future and that of their colleagues, particularly those on visas tied to their employment, and in some cases, hope. A key quote: “We deserve to be treated with dignity. There are a lot of well-established journalists working in our team, some of whom have suffered immensely under the regimes they came from. People in their countries trust them,” said Fatima Tlis, supervisory editor of VOA’s fact-checking team Polygraph.info https://lnkd.in/e4MTm78M

Next week we are publishing an important report on UK journalists. We'll launch it at an event at City St George’s, University of London on Monday 28 April. Details about the regional launch for the report at the University of Leeds on 1 May in Imke's post below
Save the date!! Thursday, 1st May, 6-8pm for the regional launch at the University of Leeds of a major new report about UK journalists, published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. Who are today’s journalists? How are they employed, what do they earn and which social class dominates their profession? Which ethical standards do they follow and how safe do they feel they are in their work? How do they use AI and social media? Do they still think objectivity is important? And who influences them? These are just a few questions the report “UK Journalists in the 2020s: Who They Are, How They Work, and What They Think” will answer. It draws on a large representative survey among 1,130 UK journalists. The report also includes intriguing findings about local journalists. For example, its data show that local and regional journalists in the UK put greater emphasis than national journalists on their democratic roles, such as holding the powerful to account, speaking on behalf of the marginalized, or providing information that people need to form political opinions. For the regional launch in Leeds, we will discuss this and other findings with a stellar panel: John Baron, Editor and co-founder of West Leeds Dispatch Susie Beever, journalist, writer, reporter Sunita Bhatti, Head of Regions, Channel 4 News Theodora Fairley, Senior News Editor, BBC Yorkshire Sarah Lester Lester, Editor of Manchester Evening News Jacob Tomlinson, BBC Local Digital Lead for Bradford 2025 The panel discussion will be chaired by Professor Julie Firmstone, Professor of Journalism and Political Communication at Leeds University’s School of Media and Communication. All are welcome to attend! Especially journalists!! The report is edited by Professor Neil Thurman (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and City St George’s, University of London), Dr Imke Henkel (University of Leeds), Sina Thäsler-Kordonouri (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Munich), and Dr Richard Fletcher (Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism ), and brings together authors from six different universities: Dr. Rana Arafat, Dr Lindsey Blumell, Dr Glenda Cooper, Dr lea hellmueller, Dr François Nel, Dr Ayala Panievsky, Dr Craig Robertson, Professor Jane Singer, Dr Jingrong Tong. The report will be published online by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism on 23rd April. The online release will be followed by a national launch at City St George’s, University of London on 28th April (6-8pm), and then by the regional launch at the University of Leeds on 1st May at 5.45pm for a 6pm start. To register for the Leeds launch, please contact mediaresearchsupport@leeds.ac.uk by midday on 28 April, including any dietary requirements you may have.
