Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy

The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University, named after Joan Shorenstein, explores the intersection of press, politics and public policy in theory and practice, striving to bridge the gap between journalists and scholars, and between them and the public. It has emerged as a major source for research on U.S. campaigns, elections, and journalism.

Through teaching and research at the Kennedy School of Government and through its program of fellows and conferences, the center is at the forefront of discussions in this area. The center offers a number of student-oriented initiatives, including courses on political communication and public policy. Its fellowship program invites distinguished scholars and journalists to share their knowledge and expertise with the community through frequent discussions open to the public.

The Shorenstein Center is a widely respected convener of journalists, scholars and political activists working to help the press improve its role in democracy, public policy, international news, and race, gender and the press.
