The Nieman Foundation for Journalism
Established in 1938, the
Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard administers the oldest midcareer fellowship program for journalists in the world. Working journalists of accomplishment and promise are selected to come to Harvard for a year of study, seminars and special events. More than 1,300 journalists from 90 countries have received Nieman Fellowships.
The foundation’s programs include the
Nieman Journalism Lab, an innovative collaborative that identifies emerging business models and best practices in journalism in the digital media age;
Nieman Reports, an influential quarterly written by and for journalists since 1947;
Nieman Watchdog, a project that encourages journalists to monitor and hold accountable all those who exert power in public life; and
Nieman Storyboard, a website that showcases exceptional narrative journalism in every medium and explores the future of nonfiction storytelling.
The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
The
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting is an innovative award-winning non-profit journalism organization dedicated to supporting the independent international journalism that U.S. media organizations are increasingly less able to undertake. The Center focuses on under-reported topics, promoting high-quality international reporting and creating platforms that reach broad and diverse audiences.
The Center's
educational programs provide students with fresh information on global issues, help them think critically about the creation and dissemination of news, and inspire them to become active consumers and producers of information.
