Over the years, our coverage has informed and influenced national conversations about higher education among academics and in the broader society. As The Chronicle helped to define the higher-education community, it also became an enduring home for some of the finest reporting and writing of the past half-century.
In assembling this anthology, we chose from an impressive variety of articles. Here you’ll find portraits of scholars and presidents, explorations of the lived experience of students and faculty members, investigative reporting, data-driven journalism, provocative opinion articles and essays, and documentary photographs and original illustrations. They represent the range and depth of our reporting over the years.
The Chronicle’s story has been about being in the right place at the right time. It’s our ambition to continue that narrative in the decades to come.
