Journalist’s Resource - Knowledge-based Reporting
http://journalistsresource.org/

The mission of Journalist’s Resource is to promote knowledge-based reporting and curate scholarship relevant to journalism. A project of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education, the site is run by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy. The project provides access to scholarly reports and papers on a wide range of topics, syllabi for educators and skills-based reference material. All content is free, open to the public, and considered to be public domain, operating under a Creative Commons license (see below). The chief components of the site are: a) Policy studies provide links to reliable, timely research in the categories of environment, economics, society and government. Each study is accompanied by a brief overview summarizing its findings, teaching notes and links to other relevant material. Studies are selected by a research team based at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center. To be included, research should be empirically based, peer-reviewed, published and the product of a major university, government body or nonpartisan research organization. See more on criteria for inclusion; b) Reference articles offer information on core journalism skills, including interviewing, style, ethics and more, as well as links to online tutorials; and c) Instructor’s material is intended to help educators use Journalist’s Resource. It includes information on how the teaching material is organized, its use and typical journalistic problems. We also have sample syllabi that you can adapt to your specific needs as well as a case study on teaching knowledge-based reporting. This will be added to Journalism Resources Subject Tracer™.
