The Reuters Institute marks Oxford University's commitment to create an international research centre in the comparative study of 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 RISJ 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.
