Publications
The Shorenstein Center publishes reports and papers written by Fellows and affiliated faculty members that examine themes associated with press, politics and the making of public policy.
Recent papers have examined subjects such as non-profit models for covering health care news, a historical analysis of news that brings implications for the future of journalism, and transitions in how the media conducts and reports polling during presidential campaigns.
Papers by former fellows have added significantly to the body of research on press and politics. The Shorenstein Center has had more than 200 Fellows since 1986, and the papers they wrote at the Center form the basis of numerous books, including such compilations as Terrorism, War and the Press (2003) and Politics and the Press: The News Media and Their Influences (1997).
