PULITZER CENTER
The Pulitzer Center has a bold vision: to be the venue for the world’s most innovative and consequential reporting, with journalism as the key element for mobilizing society through audience engagement strategies.
Founded in 2006, the Center is an essential source of support for enterprise reporting in the United States and across the globe. The thousands of journalists and educators who are part of our networks span more than 80 countries. Our work reaches tens of millions of people each year through our news-media partners and an audience-centered strategy of global and regional engagement.
We believe that people and communities who actively engage with systemic challenges will find solutions together. By supporting journalists as they conduct in-depth investigations, produce compelling stories, and engage diverse audiences, we create a ripple effect of world-changing impact. The result? Policy reforms, public awareness, and community empowerment.
INTERFAITH AMERICA
interfaithamerica.org
Religious diversity is a foundational American strength. Interfaith America is building a nation that achieves that promise for the common good. IA's mission is to inspire, equip, and connect leaders and institutions to unlock the potential of America's religious diversity.
Interfaith America was founded in 2002 based on the idea that religious difference should serve as a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. Since that time, Interfaith America has evolved from a small Chicago-based nonprofit to the nation's premier interfaith organization.
Utilizing a research-backed approach, Interfaith America works across higher education, racial equity, health, workplace, bridge building, democracy, and technology. IA provides consultation, training, curricula, and resources to positively engage religious diversity. IA values collaboration, developing robust institutional partnerships to leverage interfaith cooperation as a proven approach to solving challenges.
THE MEDIA AND PEACEBUILDING PROJECT

While the rapid growth of global media and communication should ideally increase understanding amongst diverse groups, research suggests that the opposite may be happening. In the United States, news is increasingly shared inside partisan information bubbles that fuel division and political fragmentation. In conflict-fragile countries, the rapid uptake of mobile devices and social media has led to measured increases in political violence. Everywhere, the news media’s focus on sensationalism has heightened public fears and exacerbated the demonization of rival groups.
Today’s information environment poses a new set of challenges that were unforeseen even a decade ago. At the same time, unprecedented opportunities to reach the masses of humanity instantaneously have emerged over these same networks. The Media and Peacebuilding Project seeks to understand the constantly developing communication landscape and the unique challenges for human security and peace that have emerged as a result. Instead of just focusing on the problems, however, we primarily seek to work with researchers and practitioners to find solutions that lead to just and peaceful outcomes.
PROGRAM ON EXTREMISM AT GWU
Founded in 2015, the Program on Extremism at George Washington University has quickly become a leading research center on all forms of extremism. The Program spearheads innovative and thoughtful academic inquiry, producing empirical work and developing pragmatic policy solutions that resonate with policymakers, civic leaders, and the general public. Its partnerships with some of the world’s most prominent universities, think tanks, media outlets and governmental agencies are a testament of the Program’s research quality, independence and innovative approach.
In keeping with their tradition of providing primary source documents to the research community and the public at large, The Program on Extremism has launched a project to create a central database of court records related to the events of January 6th, 2021. This page will be updated as additional individuals are charged with criminal activities and new records are introduced into the criminal justice system.
