"Based at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, Journalist’s Resource, examines news topics through a research lens. We surface scholarship relevant to media practitioners, bloggers, educators, students and general readers. Our philosophy is that peer-reviewed research studies can, at the very least, help anchor journalists as they navigate difficult terrain and competing claims. In 2013 the American Library Association named us one of the best free reference Web sites.
We invite all those interested in policy and public affairs to use the site’s materials, in particular instructors, students and journalists. No registration is required; the materials are free and are under a Creative Commons license."

Many are not and will need to be ordered through interlibrary loan, a process that usually takes from 1-3 days for articles and is free-of-charge for MAC students in almost all instances. Please ask for assistance if you have any questions.
