Nieman Journalism Lab

Nieman Journalism Lab is a part of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, aiming to help journalism adapt to the challenges posed by the internet age. Founded in 2008, the Lab acknowledges the transformative impact of the internet on the news and information landscape, which has led to the destabilization of traditional business models supporting quality journalism. The Lab's mission is to highlight innovative efforts in journalism, analyze their success or failure, and facilitate the exchange of good ideas within the industry. In a time when traditional news organizations are struggling to survive, the Lab seeks to assist them in adapting to the digital era while also supporting the new wave of startups aiming to complement or replace them. The Lab operates on a fundamentally optimistic outlook and invites collaboration from its readers, emphasizing the collective exchange of ideas.
