Media Research Hub - Social Science Research Council (United States )

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is an independent, not-for-profit organization fostering social science research throughout the world, with an emphasis on developing innovative approaches to critical social issues. 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.
