Overall Mission

The Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism is dedicated to helping talented journalists unite rigorous reporting with multimedia storytelling and demonstrate the value of innovative public affairs projects that inform wider audiences about issues critical to their lives.

The program recognizes that a thriving, free press is vital to our democracy. It also recognizes that recent technological innovations create vast opportunities and pose huge challenges to traditional news organizations.

As more people get information from bloggers, YouTube, "The Daily Show" or other non-traditional sources, newsrooms need journalists who understand how to provide rich public affairs content, both online and in print.

To foster such understanding, the program provides a rewarding and encouraging environment to journalists who seek to excel in their field, deepen their knowledge of the complex issues of our time, engage in thought-provoking discussions, connect with other accomplished leaders and do work that makes a difference.
