Their goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.
Journalist's Resource: Based at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, the Journalist’s Resource Project examines news topics through a research lens. The JR surfaces scholarly materials that may be relevant to media practitioners, bloggers, educators, students and general readers.

ProPublica: This independent, non-profit newsroom produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Their work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with “moral force,” by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
Reporters Without Borders: Reporters Without Borders was founded in Montpellier (France) in 1985 by four journalists: Robert Ménard, Rémy Loury, Jacques Molénat and Émilien Jubineau. This association, registered as a non-profit organization in France since 1995, soon took on an international dimension.
Under the direction of Christophe Deloire, Reporters Without Borders organized its team of researchers by geographical area. The organization also gradually developed two essential and highly specialized spheres of activity: one focused on Internet Censorship and the New Media, and the other devoted to providing material, financial and psychological assistance to journalists assigned to dangerous areas. Reporters Without Borders is registered in France as a non-profit organization and has consultant status at the United Nations and UNESCO.
