Knight Foundation announces journalism grant winners
The Knight News Challenge announced a smaller slate of winners this year, with the biggest award going to DocumentCloud, a ProPublica/New York Times effort that promises to “turn documents into data.” Other awards went to a “bug tracking” approach to correcting journalism, a wiki on NYC council members, a data visualization project and a few others, including a couple mobile efforts. The Nieman Lab has terrific coverage on each of the winners.
