Championing quality journalism

 

The Judith Neilson Institute champions quality journalism and storytelling in Australia and around the world through grants, practical education programs and events with global leaders that will enlighten, provoke and inspire.

The Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas was established in late 2018 when philanthropist Judith Neilson committed at least $100 million to create a centre for journalism, based in Australia but with global reach and ambition.
