The Chronicle of Higher Education was founded in 1966 by Corbin Gwaltney. The idea for the publication came to Gwaltney when he was still in high school, and he spent years developing the concept. Gwaltney, along with other board members of Editorial Projects in Education (EPE), planned to create a new publication focused on higher education. The Chronicle was initially supported by grants from the Carnegie Foundation and the Ford Foundation. Today, The Chronicle is owned by The Chronicle of Higher Education Inc., with Pamela Gwaltney serving as the Board Chair and Michael G. Riley as the President and Editor in Chief. Based in Washington, D.C., The Chronicle of Higher Education covers a wide range of topics related to colleges and universities, including news, information, and job opportunities for college and university faculty members and administrators. The publication provides in-depth reporting on issues such as academic life, technology, campus politics, and financial matters affecting higher education. The Chronicle has expanded its reach to include both online and print editions, offering comprehensive coverage of the higher education landscape across the United States and beyond. **One interesting fact**: Despite being primarily known for its coverage of higher education, The Chronicle has made a significant impact in journalism education. One of its books, "No, I Can't Get You Free Tickets: Lessons Learned From a Life in Sports Media" by Paul M. Banks, has become an assigned textbook in journalism courses at State University New York-Oneonta, demonstrating the publication's influence beyond just reporting on higher education.
