Help communities stay informed

Future journalists, it's time to get your creative juices flowing. The Knight Community Information Challenge is accepting proposals now through Sept. 15. Come up with a creative way to use media and technology to keep your community informed and engaged and if chosen you may win a matching grant for your community foundation.

According to the news release, the challenge is sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which promotes excellence in journalism worldwide.

It's refreshing to know that there are organizations helping to support media and keeping people informed...a nice change from newspapers announcements of budget cuts and shutting down the presses.
