Knight Foundation Grants Available

Interested in creating a sustained, statewide initiative to improve news media transparency, media literacy and public involvement?

Consider applying for one of two $75,000 news council start-up grants from the Knight Foundation. The Washington News Council and the Minnesota News Council will judge applications from community/media nonprofit groups. The two best proposals will be awarded $75,000 each.

A news council is an independent, nonprofit organization that investigates complaints against news organizations and issues evidence-based rulings about their accuracy and fairness. The councils provide public forums where citizens and journalists can discuss media performance and ethics.

Deadline for applications is February 15, 2006. For more information visit:
