the other. We combine any tools necessary
to address every link in the chain.

journalism, providing infrastructure, training,
editorial support and syndication tools. We build
news services around specific countries or topics.
The goal is to make them sustainable and
commercially viable.

U.N. agencies, foundations and governments.

experts to debate the big issues reshaping the media landscape and driving
the stories that dominate headlines in a fast-changing world.

Africa billions every year. Wealth of Nations
works with 150 individual journalists and 12
carefully chosen news organizations to expose the
practices that stop Africa from flourishing.

and Eastern Europe, to advance regional expertise on

17.  Smallholder farmers produce more than 80
percent of food consumed in the developing
world yet over two-thirds of extremely poor
people live in these rural areas. Reporting rural
development, put simply, is about reducing
poverty.
 With support from the United Nation's
International Fund for Agricultural Development,
we work with journalists to show how rural
development is a story that spans science, climate
change, business, politics and social innovation.

18.  Participants from the Balkans and Southeast Europe
spend four weeks in London, Brussels, Frankfurt and
Berlin to meet policymakers and journalists reporting
on European financial and political affairs.
 Supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung, the programme

practical exercises based on current European topics.

was established in 2006 with core funding from
Thomson Reuters Foundation. It marks the
collaborative commitment between the University
of Oxford and the Foundation to create an

study of journalism.
