At Knight, we’re certainly not focused on saving the newspaper industry, and for that matter not even saving the news industry. We’re focused on developing a strong community of informed readers who are skeptical users of information and whom technology powers to check [journalism] in a way that my editors and my writers were never checked.

In a profile of Alberto Ibargüen, Fast Company looks at how he has reinvigorated the News Challenge and how the Knight Foundation supports innovation.

Knight Foundation announced the question for their next News Challenge today, asking “How can we harness data and public information for the health of communities?”

Going to participate in the New Challenge? Fast Company’s profile will give you a sense of what Knight Foundation values.
