The Knight Center for International Media was established in February 2007 to address the assumption that the world will not solve its most difficult problems unless its people learn to communicate more easily across national borders.
The Center is made possible by a major grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s Journalism Initiatives and builds upon the University of Miami’s long-standing relationship with the Foundation.
