How does the research from our Institute scholars tie to the news you read every day? Our Visiting Fellows in Journalism help to draw that connection, providing context to focused research questions to help policymakers and the public fully understand the results. Journalism fellows moderate events throughout the academic year that are deeply tied to University research. As current members of the news media, they also share their expertise and understanding of the ever-evolving media landscape to help scholars and students better translate their work for a public audience. They also lead workshops and private meetings during their time as fellows.
In meeting with faculty, journalism fellows can gain deep insight into the complex issues they write about every day. Their decision to write about research, however, is at their discretion and that of their editors. To avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest, fellows receive no payment for being part of the program.
