FUNDINGCCJ is currently funded by a $2.28 million grant from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Since CCJ's inception the Knight Foundation has generously contributed nearly $4.5 million to fund CCJ's Traveling Curriculum and daily operations.  AFFILIATION CCJ is an affiliate of the new Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.  INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL For nearly 10 years, CCJ shared a website, office space, and executive staff with the Project for Excellence in Journalism, a research organization that in July 2006 became part of the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. PEJ's goal is to use research to understand the role and the performance of the news media in the information age. CCJ shares intellectual capital with other training projects operating under the umbrella of the Knight Foundation's Newsroom Training Initiative. CCJ shares research and resources with NewsLab, a non-profit resource center for television and radio newsrooms, focused on training and research. "NEW MEDIA, ENDURING VALUES" PROJECT PARTNERSHIPSIn October 2006, CCJ kicked off a partnership with University of Missouri School of Journalism and its Reynolds Journalism Institute on a project in which they'll share resources and expertise and work intensively with three U.S. news organizations. CCJ and company will be working with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, WHO-TV in Des Moines, and Minnesota Public Radio on projects to address certain areas of their newsroom operations.
