It was a historic moment for the working media and our journalism partners, a chance to “reclaim and reassert the best that journalism has to offer,”says a key Knight adviser. The 26 Knight communities reflected a nation dealing with the secondary victims of the attacks – needy people coping with the economic shock, making do with even less. The 246 service providers benefiting from Knight’s $10 million Sept. 11 Fund can, and will, help. The foundation’s enduring commitment to those 26 communities through a re- vamped approach to funding took long strides in 2001, forging promising partnerships in such civic laboratories as Central Long Beach, downtown Charlotte, the “Grand Cities” region and the Beall’s Hill neighborhood in Macon. 2001: A year of refinement and discovery. 2001 ANNUAL R EPORT 1 F ROM THE C HAIRMAN New Crises, Enduring Commitments n this space last year, you read about ations with these places and the field of a new strategic plan here at the John journalism.

Ethan Smith Abstract Entrepreneurship has been touted as a crucial lens for the future of sports manage- ment scholarship (Hardy, 1996; Ratten, 2011). Ratten (2011a) specifically proposed sport entrepreneurship “as a category of entrepreneurship that fosters economic development in the sports management field” (p. 60). Yet, to date, no scholarly lit- erature has applied the sports-entrepreneurship lens to local football (soccer) clubs in the United States. Thus, the purpose of this article is to use the lens of sport en- trepreneurship to introduce the phenomenon of supporter owned football clubs in the United States (U.S.).

  • Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight
    Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight John S. (Jack) and James (Jim) Knight were Akron brothers and prominent national figures, who owned and ran the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper in the 1900s. The two brothers, who inherited the Beacon Journal from their father, worked together to build up that newspaper into a strong editorial voice and business force that helped steer the city and the region. Eventually, the two parlayed the Akron paper into the flagship of a powerful, influential newspaper chain that included the Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, San Jose Mercury News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. By 1981, the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain included 32 newspapers in 17 states, employed 15,000 workers and had a circulation of 3.6 million daily. The brothers also founded the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (Miami), which remains one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the nation. Knight-Ridder Newspapers did not fare as well. The prize-winning newspaper group, at one time the nation's largest, was sold to the McClatchy Co. in 2006 for $4.5 billion in cash and stock. Since then, McClatchy has sold off 12 Knight-Ridder newspapers to other corporations. The Beacon Journal was sold to Black Press Ltd., a Canadian publishing company. The hour-long documentary tells the story of the Knight family, the Beacon Journal and the rise and fall of the Knight-Ridder newspaper group. The documentary was written and produced by Paul Jacoway, of Paul R. Jacoway Productions of Akron, and Kathleen Endres, distinguished professor of Communication at The University of Akron, and directed by Jacoway.
