Founded by the Knight brothers, co-owners of the predecessor to the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain, the Knight foundation has donated over $400 million to journalistic endeavours since 1950. They support mid-career training of journalists through grants to major American universities. The foundation also created “The Knight Chairs in Journalism” which funds professional journalists to become professors at 22 universities, including Columbia, Duke, Yale, and Miami. The list of projects funded is extensive and they’re focused on “leading journalism excellence into the digital age.”
