The Poynter Institute and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced that they will develop News University, an online training portal for journalists.

NewsU will create interactive lessons in journalism skills and ethics, drawing on the teaching of Poynter faculty, and will serve as a conduit to the best journalism-school offerings on the Web, including those with Knight chairs and mid-career programs.

"We want to extend our mission of teaching craft and leadership skills to professionals and students who can not attend seminars here," said Karen Dunlap, dean of the Poynter faculty and president-designate of the St. Petersburg, Florida, school.

"Poynter’s popular website has proven it can reach journalists," said Eric Newton, Knight Foundation director of journalism initiatives. "We want to help the school use it as well as it can to teach journalists."
