About
We imagine a future where academic research supports decision-making in journalism — whether by reporters, editors or news executives — and where journalism better informs the questions researchers ask. The aim is journalism that not only is sustainable, but serves the needs of all corners of society.
How do we get there? We start by coming together: reporters, editors, news executives. Professors (tenure-track, tenured, instructors of the practice). Students. Journalism support organizations. Consultants.
We take stock of where we are. We ideate. we pitch in our talents. We build bridges.
This is how change begins.
