Ten New Local Media Ventures Funded

Ten “New Voices” award winners from across the U.S. will receive $12,000 grants to launch innovative local media ventures. The 10 were selected from 243 proposals seeking inaugural New Voices funding…J-Lab administers the program, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. (I was a Knight Fellow in 1999-2000)

Full details are here: the funded projects include local podcasts, local moblogs, a hip-hop culture website in Philadelphia, among others..

A commendable effort indeed…better use of Knight Foundation’s money than this
