Knight Foundation Seeks Innovative Ideas for News

“Whether you’re a high school student, a college professor, a truck driver, a brain surgeon, a stay-at-home parent, a journalist, an entrepreneur, a nonprofit organizer or anything else, anywhere in the world: If we like your idea, we will give you money to make it happen.”
The deadline for proposals is October 15. See the Knight Foundation News Challenge.
