The Chronicle of Higher Education is a
newspaper that presents news, information,
and jobs for college and university faculty members and
administrators.
The Chronicle of Higher Education is
the major news service in the United States
academic world. Based in Washington,
D.C.
, The Chronicle is published every weekday
online and appears weekly in print except for every other week in
June, July, and August and the last three weeks in December (a
total of 42 issues a year). In print,
The Chronicle
is published in two sections: section A with news and job listings,
and section B,
The Chronicle Review, a magazine of arts
and ideas.
The Chronicle of Higher Education also publishes
The Chronicle of
Philanthropy, a newspaper for the nonprofit world;
The Chronicle Guide to
Grants, an electronic database of corporate and foundation
grants; and the Web portal
Arts
& Letters Daily.
The Chronicle was founded in 1966 by Corbin Gwaltney, who
had been the founder and editor of the alumni magazine of the
Johns Hopkins University.
In 1993, it was one of the first newspapers to appear on the
Internet, as a
Gopher
service.
Over the years, the paper has been a finalist and winner of many
journalism awards. In 2005, two special reports — on
diploma mills and
plagiarism — were selected as finalists in the
reporting category for a
National Magazine Award. It has been
a finalist for the award in general excellence every year from 2001
to 2005.
In 2007,
The Chronicle won an
Utne Reader Independent Press Award for
political coverage. In its award citation,
Utne called
The Chronicle Review "a fearless, free-thinking section
where academia's best and brightest can take their gloves off and
swing with abandon at both sides of the increasingly predictable
political divide."
The New
Republic,
The Nation,
Reason, and
The American Prospect were among
the finalists in the category.
