Thanks to the largesse of the Knight Foundation, the biggest name in journalism philanthropy, we have some excellent training centers working to advance innovations in news, including training for newsroom managers and their staffs.
The Knight Digital Media Center at USC serves as an information hub. The center lists trainings and also archives online tutorials here.
Meanwhile, the KDMC at Berkeley is active in providing digital news training. This center has some outstanding online skills courses for journalists.
