In 2022, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas marked two decades of courses, conferences and publications that have strengthened journalism around the world.

When we started the Knight Center 20 years ago, I could not have imagined that we would have such a huge impact for so long," Alves said. "Initially the center was meant to focus only in Latin America and the Caribbean for four years. Later, it became global and here we are celebrating 20 years!"

Celebrations began in August with an anniversary event focused on global stories of impact. Shortly after, the Knight Center announced it received a $4 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to reorganize, expand and strengthen its operations.

We hope you'll explore this page, which features a history of the Knight Center and, most importantly, testimonials from journalists whose careers and lives have been touched by the Knight Center's programs.
