Reuters Institute Journalist Fellows explore the lessons learned in lockdown
The Journalist Fellows from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism opened the Institute’s Trinity term’s Global Journalism Seminars with a discussion on lessons learned from their research during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A unique group of Journalist Fellows from Kyrgyzstan, India, Hungary, Norway, Finland, Indonesia, Pakistan, Kenya, Egypt, Nicaragua and Brazil explored where journalism is, where it’s going, and where it could be around the world.
Chairing the seminar, Meera Selva, Director of the Fellowship Programme and Deputy Director of the Institute, said: “We have carried on the Fellowship here despite lockdown, speaking about the future of journalism and the challenges facing the news industry because it feels like it’s vital to have these conversations now more than ever.”

Green Templeton College is proud of its connection with the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. Journalist Fellows are given Visiting Scholar status at Green Templeton during their time in Oxford, allowing them access to the college’s wide-ranging facilities, and Principal Sir Michael Dixon is a member of the Reuters Institute Steering Committee.
The Global Journalism Seminars usually take place in Green Templeton’s EP Abraham Lecture Theatre but are currently being held online.
A wonderful evening for the Green Templeton community in Sydney. It is always special to see alumni reconnecting and making new connections wherever they are in the world.
Thank you to Oceania Group and everyone who joined the group’s inaugural annual dinner.
The group’s next gathering takes place in Brisbane on Tuesday 8 September – another welcome opportunity for our alumni and friends in the region to connect.
A great start to what we hope will become a growing tradition for the college`s community across Oceania.

Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
