What's on the Media Research Hub?
Collaborative Grants support partnerships between academic researchers and advocates. Grants are awarded through open competitions, held several times per year. The SSRC awarded six grants totaling $180,000 in September 2007.
The Data Consortium for Media and Communications Policy works for the principle that public policy should be made with publicly-available data—a condition mostly absent from contemporary media and communications policymaking.
The Resource Database is a community-editable field-mapping tool for linking people, institutions, research materials, networks, and projects--and the relationships between them.
Commentary: an aggregated media and technology blog on news, resources, research, and policy.
News and Events: selected news, conferences, internship offers and other opportunities in the field. To submit an item, contact mediahub@ssrc.org .
