This Newspapers In Education special section was made possible, in part, by funding from the NFOIC through a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Established in 1950, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation make national grants in journalism, education, arts and culture. Its fourth program, community initiatives,
is concentrated in 26 communities where the Knight brothers published newspapers, but the foundation is wholly separate from and independent of those newspapers.
