We leverage the know-how, reach and reputation of Thomson Reuters to run free programmes that promote the highest standards in journalism and strengthen the rule of law worldwide: free legal assistance, under-reported news, media development, and the Trust Conference.
The Thomson Reuters Foundation also provides training solutions to companies, media outlets, and governmental organisations, and funds the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, a world-leading research centre and publisher of the Digital News Report.
We act as a source of unbiased thought leadership in areas including modern slavery and human trafficking, women’s rights, and climate change and resilience.
