From a new website that tests technology to see what works for journalists to looking at new ways of engaging young people in politics, Knight Chairs are involved in a variety of projects advancing the field of journalism.

The video above highlights what Knight Chairs, who are leading journalists now working as tenured professors at top universities, say about their teaching, their students and the state of their profession. 

Many chairs acknowledge that while it may be a challenging time for young people to go into journalism, there are also many opportunities for innovative and entrepreneurial students to make their mark.

To learn more about progress the chairs have made over past year, what they expect for the year to come and what prospects await the young professionals currently enrolled in journalism schools, click on the chair’s individual bio pages.

The foundation interviewed  18 of the 25 Knight Chairs in Journalism during the program’s annual meeting earlier this year in Miami.
