Since 2002, the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin has led professional training and outreach for journalists in Latin America and the Caribbean. We have helped independent journalists in the Western Hemisphere to create a new generation of associations and other organizations to elevate the standards of journalism in their countries. Our training programs have benefited thousands of journalism professors and students throughout the Americas and beyond. Since 2012, Journalism Courses, the Center's distance learning program, has offered massive open online courses (MOOCs) that have attracted more than 300,000 journalists, media professionals and people all over the world. The International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ), annually hosted by the Knight Center at the University of Texas at Austin, has become one of the most prestigious journalism conferences in the world. The conference bridges the gap between the news industry and academia, examining changes in journalism during the digital revolution. The Knight Center has also become a reference for news and information about journalism and press freedom in Latin America and the Caribbean since it started covering those issues with a blog launched in 2003. In 2020, the center's 17-year-old blog Journalism in the Americas became the LatAm Journalism Review, a stand-alone digital magazine published in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
