www.knightfoundation.org/mii/universalaccess.dot Universal Access -- At Knight Foundation, we strongly believe that information is as vital to the healthy functioning of communities as clean air, safe streets and good schools.Today, much of the critical information people need to make decisions is offered solely online. We believe that if you're not digital, you're a second-class citizen. You're second-class in access to information and second class economically and even socially. In a country where even entry-level job applications must be made online, denial of digital access equals denial of opportunity. For a foundation dedicated to community and communications, that's not acceptable. That's why Knight Foundation is investing in projects in communities across the United States to ensure digital access for all Americans. They include:
