Oct. 15, Money Available for Good Journalism Ideas

Greetings Milan-

It's Knight News Challenge Season!

We only have two more weeks to remind everyone in the Known Journalism
Universe about the Knight News Challenge.

Last year, journalists being journalists, 2/3 of our applications came
in the two weeks before deadline.

We expect the same this year.

Since the deadline is Oct. 15, it's time to remind everyone that for the
coming contest we are talking now or never.

We're trying to do everything possible this year to get more
applications ... in gross numbers and, of course, in quality.

Do you know anyone interested in innovation in community journalism who
wants to try for some of the $5 million prize pool?

Would it be possible to alert your friends?
