Focusing on the effects of technology on society, the Markle Foundation has funded research into such topics as universal e-mail access and the effect of TV programs on young children. Headed by president Zoë Baird, the organization has awarded grants to CNN, Sesame Workshop (formerly Children's Television Workshop), and Infonautics. The foundation was formed in 1927 to "promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge ... and the general good of mankind." Named after philanthropy-friendly businessman John Markle and his wife, Mary, the foundation first concentrated on social welfare, then academic medicine, before focusing on mass communications in 1969.
