The institute was founded in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford in 2006 to conduct scholarly and professional research on news media, operate the Thomson Reuters Journalism Fellowship Programme, and host academic research fellows. The RISJ works to bridge daily working journalism and academic study. The Institute regularly holds seminars and events and has an extensive publication programme.[citation needed]

The institute is chaired by Alan Rusbridger, former principal of Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford.[3] Advisory board members include Indian media entrepreneur Ritu Kapur[4] and British life peer Baroness Wheatcroft.[5] As of 2019 the institute's staff includes Rasmus Kleis Nielsen as director,[6][7] and Meera Selva as deputy director and director of the Journalist Fellowship Programme.[8][9]
