About The Fourth Estate and The Third Sector

The Fourth Estate and Third Sector is produced and edited by Burnis Morris for journalists and journalism students who are interested in media issues -- such as media performance, media criticism, philantropy, tax-exempt organizations, ethics, law, and anything else that strikes you as interesting. This site began in 2007 as a blog for journalists who cover philanthropy and the tax-exempt community. It was a project of Marshall University's School of Journalism and Mass Comunications, BBB Wise Giving Alliance and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Our purpose is to help improve news coverage. It is an information site for news gatherers. We want this site to become one of the first stops journalists make when they want to discuss important issues of the day. We will post items of interest to news people and invite news men and women to post their own comments. We encourage you to share stories you've read or written and to ask questions of each other.

Burnis R. Morris is the Carter G. Woodson Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications at Marshall University.
