Developing Community Media-- A Twenty Five Million Dollar Challenge

JB

This year the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is offering up to 5 million dollars in grants for the Knight News Challenge, designed to generate new ideas about how to use digital media to transform coverage of community news. Knight plans to invest 25 million dollars over five years; this is year two of the project. Details can be found here.

In addition (and quite relevant to our recent postings on government secrecy), the Knight Foundation is also sponsoring Sunshine Week, a national campaign for media outlets, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits and schools to increase public awareness of open government and freedom of information.
