Journalism Education Reform Growing With $3.9 Million Gift

A pioneering initiative that helped leading journalism schools reinvent themselves for the digital age will be extended to all journalism and mass communications programs in the United States, thanks to $3.9 million in new support from Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

The expansion comes after an independent evaluation found the initiative has already helped transform curriculums and get more students hired at a critical juncture in the industry’s history.
