About Knight Center for International Media, University of Miami
About the Knight Center for International Media: The Knight Center for International Media at the School of Communication, University of Miami, was established in early 2007 with funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Center operates on the assumption that effective communication across national and cultural borders is essential for addressing the most crucial issues of our time. The Center’s work focuses on “Anchor Projects” – like One Water - designed to harness the full range of media platforms and knowledge bases over significant blocks of time to advance solutions. These projects focus on underreported issues of global significance and are broadly informed by the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.
About the Knight Center for International Media’s Anchor Projects: The Knight Center’s Anchor Projects are based on global subjects that are typically underreported in the media. Through research, multimedia training and the production of compelling media products over significant blocks of time, the Center draws attention to some of the most urgent issues of our time. Currently the Center’s topics of interest are informed by the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The first Anchor Project, developed around the theme of “water”, grew into several fronts, including an award-winning documentary, “One Water”, filmed in 15 countries, a web magazine, 1H2O.org, dedicated to articles about water issues around the world, the making of water themed documentaries for national broadcast by filmmakers in various countries and the development of curricular materials aimed at educating middle and high school students around the world.
The United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals: Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty; Achieve Universal Primary Education; Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women; Reduce Child Mortality; Improve Maternal Health; Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases; Ensure Environmental Sustainability; Develop a Global Partnership for Development.
