The Pew Research Center (also simply known as Pew) is a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C. It provides information on social issues, public opinion, and demographic trends shaping the United States and the world.[2] It also conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, random sample survey research, and panel based surveys,[4] media content analysis, and other empirical social science research.

The Pew Research Center claims it does not take policy positions. It is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts[5][6] and a Charter Member of the American Association of Public Opinion Research's Transparency Initiative.[7]

History

[edit]

In 1990, the Times Mirror Company founded the Times Mirror Center for the People & the Press as a research project, tasked with conducting polls on politics and policy.[8] Andrew Kohut became its director in 1993, and The Pew Charitable Trusts became its primary sponsor in 1996, when it was renamed the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.[9]

In 2004, the trust established the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. In 2013, Kohut stepped down as president and became founding director, and Alan Murray became the second president.[10] In October 2014, Michael Dimock, a 14-year veteran of the Center at the time of his selection, was named president.[11]

Funding

[edit]

The Pew Research Center is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary funder.[6][12] For its studies focusing on demographics of religions in the world, the Pew Research Center has been jointly funded by the Templeton Foundation.[13][14]
