The Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy analyzes the power of media, in all its forms, and its impact on public policy and politics. Through research, teaching, high‑profile events and engagement, the Center plays a leading role in the discussion about media and politics in the 21st century. Through teaching and research at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and its program of visiting fellows, conferences and initiatives, the Shorenstein Center strives to bridge the gap between journalists and scholars, and between them and the public.
