For Journalists
MIT is home to extraordinary work in science, technology, and other fields of inquiry, and to the world-class faculty and students who make that true. Those of us charged with sharing the Institute's news with the media hope that we can be your guides, whether you are interested in pursuing a specific research advance, or simply getting to know the Institute as a whole.
MIT News is the companion website to the MIT Media Relations website (which is where you are right now). It features articles about MIT teaching, research and innovation written by journalists on staff at the MIT News Office. The website was launched in September 2009, and it currently serves an international audience of about 400,000 monthly unique visitors.
Please contact us for help with stories, arranging interviews or requests for photos, and see our resources page for additional information.
