Polis is a new journalism initiative jointly organised by the Department of Journalism at the University of the Arts and the Department of Media and Communciation at the London School of Economics. billed as 'a series of news journalism and news media focused teaching and research programmes and events to start in 2006.'
The proposal, called POLIS, is based around three core activities:
- Public lectures, "Chatham House" style seminars, and open debates on the changing role of news media and the challenges that they face, leading to a series of publications reporting on the debates and making specific policy interventions
- Postgraduate teaching and short term courses based at LCC, including a jointly taught Master's programme geared towards mid-career UK and international journalists
- Media research, with POLIS researchers based at LSE, and working with LCC faculty and practicing journalists in London and worldwide.[1]
