Other Information:

www.InformationNeeds.org The Knight Community Information Challenge is a five-year initiative to engage community and place-based foundations in meeting local information needs. Now in its third year, the effort was founded on three key beliefs: * Information is a core community need, as important as clean air, jobs and good schools. * As traditional media have struggled, residents aren’t getting the local information they need to take action on the issues that affect their lives. * Foundations can and should help residents be informed about the issues that shape their communities. The challenge has three related opportunities.

Objective(s):

2.1: Media Learning Seminar
