History
In 1962, Ronald Wolk wrote a report for Editorial Projects in Education (EPE), a nonprofit organization. Wolk, who was on leave from his job as editor of the Johns Hopkins University alumni bulletin, recommended a “communications vehicle for college and university trustees.”[1] In 1966, EPE established the Chronicle of Higher Education.[4]
In 1978, EPE sold the Chronicle to its editors. Using the proceeds, EPE began Education Week, in 1981.[5]
Cofounders, Ronald Wolk and Martha Matzke, wanted Education Week to be a version of the Chronicle, but focused on kindergarten through 12th grade.[1] Wolk was Education Week’s first publisher and editor in chief.[6] Matzke was later named executive editor.[7]
The first issue of Education Week appeared on September 7, 1981.[8]
