Description

Since its establishment in 1966 as an independent newspaper, The Chronicle of Higher Education has been a trusted source of reporting on higher education. The publication was created to demystify the sector, as the general public at the time had limited access to information about higher education. Carnegie Corporation of New York was one of The Chronicle’s first funders and has helped ensure its survival and success. Over its fifty-year history, the newspaper has evolved into a central source of information for educators and higher-education administrators across the country. With Corporation support, The Chronicle will collect and publish an anthology of its best articles from the past half-century that will shed light not only on the newspaper’s history, but also on fifty years of American higher education, and will be available to both subscribers and the general public.
