The Knight Center’s editorial staff prepares a newsletter every week that reports on journalism news in the Americas. Our articles are based on information selected from a broad range of web-based news publications. Subscribers receive a single email each Friday—a list of headline articles about journalism in the Americas.
Each article is published in English, Spanish and Portuguese and contains links to the original news stories. Even when the original stories have been removed from the web our archived summaries serve as a permanent registry.
The Knight Center does not share subscriber information with third parties. Email addresses are kept confidential and are strictly reserved for internal use.
