Black College Wire, an online news service for and about students at historically black colleges and universities, has been awarded a $200,000 grant by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The one-year award will enable Black College Wire to continue its current operation and add new features to its site, including audio streaming and First Amendment Watch, a new student project that will monitor and report on censorship at black colleges.
The site was launched in September 2002 with a previous grant from Knight Foundation. It also receives in-kind support from Washington Post-Newsweek Interactive.
