Knight News Challenge deadline nears

The Knight News Challenge is open to community-minded digital news innovators worldwide -- journalists, software designers, bloggers, and students of any age. This competition is sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, who fund excellence in journalism and freedom of expression worldwide. Applications will be closing Oct. 15.

Winning entries must have three elements: 1) use of a digital media; 2) delivery of news
or information on a shared basis to 3) a geographically defined community. Although
there is a category for commercial applications, most entries are “open-source” and must
share the software and knowledge created.

This year, for the first time, the web site – www.newschallenge.org – also will allow
entrants to invite public comment that will help improve their entries.

A simple online entry form is available at www.newschallenge.org.
