It's time for another round of the annual Knight News Challenge, a competition for the best ideas regarding news, journalism, and the digital distribution of information. We know the great people at the Knight Foundation well, having received a previous Knight grant for our Mobile Information Project (MIP) which is currently in operation in Chile. In addition to the funding, the News Challenge has played a great role in connecting us with other innovators and potential funders.

I encourage anyone who thinks they've got great ideas of how to use new technologies in service of journalism and informing the public to check out the News Challenge website:
