Journalism Program
Knight Foundation's signature work is its Journalism Program. Since 1950, the foundation has invested nearly $400 million with 1,000 partners to advance quality journalism and freedom of expression worldwide. Today, the program focuses on leading journalism excellence into the digital age. We define journalism excellence as the fair, accurate, contextual pursuit of truth.
Since 1986, the foundation has made a series of major grants to support midcareer education, primarily journalism fellowship programs at prominent universities, including Miami, Columbia, Harvard, Maryland, MIT, Michigan, Southern California, Berkeley and Stanford. All have been independently evaluated and have received high marks for effectiveness. Some have been endowed; others have received operating grants.
The Journalism Program also has established Knight Chairs in Journalism at the nation's top journalism schools
