Kristen Taylor from the Knight News Foundation will tell us about the Knight News Challenge. Below is the email she sent to the blog group discussion list with details about the meeting.
“The Knight News Challenge (http://newschallenge.org) is in the third
year of a program that gives away $5MM a year to innovative online
projects that support online news, community discourse and social
media in specific local communities.Find out how to apply, share ideas, and talk with the Knight
Foundation Online Community Manager (Kristen) and previous News Challenge
winners from the area this Thursday.The contest closes November 1st, and you can work through your idea
before applying in the News Challenge Garage incubator site
(http://garage.newschallenge.org).”
A special thanks to Lisa Williams for coordinating this meeting!
