Social Science Research Council site launch

The Media Research Hub, part of the SSRC's Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere program, is a platform and toolkit linking researchers, advocates, and practitioners in the field.

At its heart is a Resource Database, a community populated and maintained system that permits easy searches for individuals, institutions, research materials, networks, and projects. It supports the composition of "profiles" tracing connections among resources, and the saving and sharing of exportable lists. Jazkarta has built the Media Research Hub as the first of a network of thematic SSRC Research Hubs, and the Katrina Research Hub followed shortly after.
