The Center for Journalism and Democracy

The Center for Journalism and Democracy at Howard University was created to strengthen historically-informed, pro-democracy journalism. It was founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Knight Chair in Race and Journalism. In this video, she talks about the importance of a free press to support a healthy democracy, the role of the Black Press Archives, and why reporters need to receive training in investigative journalism, a dying form of important journalism.
