Nieman Reports

For more than six decades, Nieman Reports has explored what it means to be a journalist, examined major shifts in how the work of journalists is done, pondered the ways in which this work can be funded, and shared with the quarterly magazine’s global audience of journalists the many challenges, opportunities and responsibilities that news organizations have confronted during times of change.

Nieman Reports is unique in its approach as a journalism magazine. On its pages, journalists write out of their own experiences; in doing so, they share valuable insights and offer useful guidance to our audience of journalists. In each issue, topics of current interest are addressed from a wide variety of perspectives. Among topics recently featured in Nieman Reports are these:
Published in print as a quarterly magazine, Nieman Reports is also online. Some articles appear on our Web site as part of digital newsbooks in which words and images are read on a computer screen as they would appear in the print publication. All of each magazine’s articles and photo essays are available in HTML format, which is easy to download or print for use in newsrooms and classrooms.

To encourage the use of Nieman Reports in journalism classrooms, we work with a network of faculty members who alert colleagues and students about topics covered in each issue. Professor’s Corner provides easy access to those collections of stories that journalism teachers might find useful.

With its blend of reflective essays and experiential storytelling — harnessing the voices of reporters and editors, photojournalists, cartoonists and producers whose experiences and insights speak to the challenges of rapid change and to the enduring principles of journalism — Nieman Reports continues to play an essential role in shaping journalism’s future.
