Throughout the history of the Baha'i Faith from 1844, individual writers have performed as "reporters" or "journalists". They produced news items of upcoming events to books recording the history and teachings of the new religion. In the last 50 years, Baha'i think tanks have emerged, encouraged by the highest Baha'i administrative unit -- the Universal House of Justice (UHJ). A think tank may be defined as an organization of multiple persons collaborating to conduct investigative journalism including news reporting, analysis of events, research and editorial opinion. To start conversations about the rise of Baha'i think tanks, a selected list of these efforts is presented chronologically. Interesting features of this phenomenon are discussed.
