2022 Christopher J. Georges Conference on College Journalism

The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard houses a dynamic set of initiatives to promote and elevate the standards of journalism and educate and support those poised to make important contributions to its future. We do this through our fellowship programs; our digital and print publications; and programming that convenes some of the leading thinkers of our time.

More than 1,600 journalists from 99 countries have been awarded Nieman fellowships since 1938. We also offer short-term visiting fellowships for individuals working on projects to enhance journalism who would like to spend up to 12 weeks at Harvard advancing their idea. Visiting fellows have included digital innovators, technologists, academics, and journalists from the U.S. and abroad.

Nieman’s publications include:

• Nieman Lab, an online news site focused on the future of news and innovation. Nieman Lab has a staff of reporters writing daily about the most significant developments in journalism and has become a leading source of news about digital media for an audience around the world.
• Nieman Reports, a website and print magazine that explores contemporary journalism’s most important challenges and provides a forum for the industry’s leading voices on issues of ethics, values, innovation and more. It also serves as a town square for Nieman’s global alumni network.
• Nieman Storyboard, a website that showcases exceptional narrative journalism and the art and craft of nonfiction storytelling.
