Nieman Notes

A Redesign of the Nieman Web Site

By Barbara McCarthy
Nieman Web Communications Specialist


With the mission of the Nieman Foundation to “… promote and elevate the standards of journalism and educate persons deemed especially qualified for journalism,” our aim on the Nieman Web site is to create a gateway toward that mandate. With that goal in mind, we are working to improve the site, beginning with a complete reconstruction and redesign. This new site will feature a fresh, up-to-date look and approach that balances the needs of the foundation while providing an improved user experience.

At the site, you are able to:

  • Read news coverage of our alumni in “Niemans in the News” as soon as the information is available.
  • Gain easy access to the latest online version of Nieman Reports.
  • Learn about upcoming events and conferences sponsored by the foundation.
  • Understand and deploy the power of narrative in news writing with “Narrative Digest.”
We hope you enjoy exploring the Nieman Foundation Web site during this evolution, and we welcome your comments and suggestions. The site can be accessed at www.nieman.harvard.edu.
