Nieman Journalism Lab is a USA website covering Media Business.
The Nieman Journalism Lab is an effort to help journalism figure out its future in the Internet age. Using original reporting and a collaborative exchange of ideas, the project aims to seek ways for news organizations to survive and prosper in the digital age, assist journalists facing rapidly changing work environments and responsibilities and identify new business models to take the place of failing traditional revenue sources.
The Lab is part of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, established in 1938 at Harvard University. It runs Nieman Fellowships, the oldest fellowship program for journalists in the world which provides recipients with a year of study and exploration at the school. Joshua Benton founded Nieman Lab in 2008 and was its director for 12 years before returning to reporting as senior writer in 2020.
This website is owned by Nieman Foundation at Harvard University.

-- The environmental activist treats other journalists with kid gloves as the world overheats. His flaccid defense of the failure of the news media to report on the ugly reality of climate change includes praise for the satirical movie Don't Look Up, a star-studded and cynical show that mostly fails to entertain, educate or inspire.
