Beyond the Newsroom: Alberto Ibargüen’s Lasting Legacy at the Knight Foundation

For the past 18 years, the foundation has been led by Alberto Ibargüen, who recently announced that he will be stepping down as President and CEO, leaving behind a remarkable record of achievement, and he’s with us now.
