Definition

  • Journalism is served by a plethora of foundations, institutes, and research centers, virtually all of them dedicated to improving the news media and their products. Some are tied to academic institutions and based on their campuses (usually as an integral part of their journalism programs), though many were at least initially funded by endowments or other gifts from wealthy individuals, some of them journalists themselves.
