The Knight Foundation has awarded a total of $3-million to endow chairs in journalism schools at the University of Kansas and Duke and Florida A&M Universities.
The grants are the first under a new program that, after the first year, will endow a Knight Chair in Journalism at one college or university annually. The first recipients, which received $1-million each, were chosen from a field of 34 applicants.
The holder of the chair at Kansas’s William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communication will focus on the leadership role of the press. Florida A&M’s School of Journalism, Media, and Graphic Arts hopes to attract a journalist to its endowed chair to expand professional-development programs for students. The chair at Duke’s Institute of Policy Sciences and Public Affairs, which offers degrees in public policy, will be devoted to print journalism.
