Knight Chairs in Journalism
Knight Chairs in Journalism are top professionals who bridge the newsroom-classroom divide with innovative teaching, major outreach projects and their own journalism. Since the program began in 1990, Knight has endowed 26 chairs and professors at 23 universities. The chairs have helped lead journalism and media education — and journalism itself — toward a better future in the digital age.
