Getting funding through the Knight Community Information Challenge: A guide f...Knight Foundation
On May 1, Knight Foundation is launching a contest with a local focus — the Knight Community Information Challenge. While the contest funds all types of news and information projects, the priority of this year’s contest is to fund projects that make “open government” more tangible and useful to people in a specific community—which makes this contest a unique opportunity for anyone wanting to build and test a new idea locally. Find out more at http://kng.ht/ZPwCPd. Please note: The challenge deadline has been extended to July 1, 2013.
As social media tools have become ubiquitous, foundations have used them in a variety of ways to expand their networks, gather insights and build new relationships. As a result, there’s a growing interest in developing better ways to measure the impact of their online efforts.
The following slides were presented by Knight Foundation Vice President of Strategy and Assessment, Mayur Patel, at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's recent roundtable on Social Media Measurement. Nearly a dozen foundations, including Knight, gathered with communication experts, evaluators and data analysts to share best practices and learn from one another.

How Knight endowments advance journalism excellenceKnight Foundation
Knight Foundation’s journalism and media innovation team gets much well-deserved attention for its media innovation work. Less discussed, but no less important, is the education of thousands of students and professionals each year through $200 million in endowed programs Knight has built over several decades to advance journalism excellence.
There are dozens of Knight-endowed chair and mid-career training programs. Since most of that work occurs at universities, I’ve also added some context—an analysis of 25 years of Knight’s journalism and media grantmaking to universities. Read more at http://kng.ht/1iiq0jV.

Collaborative mapping is the crucial need in any rescue and relief operation. Our recent experience lead us to focus the research on the development of a unique platform [web and mobile] that allows different levels of geolocated information sharing, on a “user permissions” base [anonymus user, registered user level 1, ….]. Our approach is to use the solutions that are free and open [such as Google Maps, Google Earth, Google 3d, Ushahidi, OpenStreetMap, or Android apps for route tracking] and to develop a stable tool through the integration of diverse solutions ensuring a high level of sharing and collaboration among different players.

Harbor Research - Introduction to Smart Business & M2MHarbor Research
The Pervasive Internet and the new world of Smart Systems are ushering in an era where people, machines, devices, sensors, and businesses are all connected and able to interact with one another. As these previously disaggregated parties come together, new modes of collaboration and intelligence will abound fostering a trend that we call “Smart Business.” Machine-to- Machine communication (M2M) systems are merely the starting point. The development of the Pervasive Internet and the evolution toward Smart Business practices will enable a truly connected world. Inputs from machines, people, video streams, maps, newsfeeds, and sensors will be digitized and placed onto networks. This will lead to the convergence of the physical & virtual worlds, thus enabling collective awareness, creativity, and better decision making capabilities for societies that increasingly rely on real-time information and interactions. Many observers believe that this phenomenon will drive the largest growth opportunity in the history of business.

Is your organization ready for seismic change accelerated by the expanding online ecosystem? Are you evolving the kinds of nimble governance, management, and operations that can survive -- and thrive -- through the next upheaval in your industry? By definition, disruption is unexpected, but you can prepare your programs and people to anticipate transformative change.

Finding a Foothold: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek SustainabilityKnight Foundation
A new report offers an in-depth view into the nonprofit news industry, revealing the significant progress that news organizations have made toward sustainability and the challenges they still face. The report, “Finding a Foothold: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek Sustainability,” provides data and analysis on 18 nonprofit news organizations between 2010 and 2012.
A follow-up to the 2011 Knight study, “Getting Local: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek Sustainability,” the new report takes a deeper look, expanding the number of nonprofit sites included in the research. It also broadens the focus of the study from just local, to state and national organizations. Find out more at www.knightfoundation.org/features/nonprofitnews.

More than 80% of nonprofit leaders recently surveyed believe that demonstrating impact through performance measurement is a top priority. Yet for many, evaluation feels like a daunting task that takes up time and resources without providing much value.
If we agree with the importance of measurement, how do we improve our practice of it?
These are questions we often grapple with at Knight Foundation. Above, Knight's Vice President of Strategy and Assessment, Mayur Patel, shares a few simple exercises on how to use evaluation to deliver better programs and promote greater effectiveness within our organizations. Find out more at http://kng.ht/12VJ6Cz.
Starting May 1, Knight Foundation will again be offering matching funds to community and place-based foundations seeking to make an impact by funding news and information projects. This year, though the Knight Community Information Challenge is evolving. While the challenge will continue to be an open contest for all kinds of media projects, this year we will be offering up to $50,000 in seed funding to foundations for new ideas. Our goal is to provide the support funders need to test their ideas and assumptions, and iterate as need be, before going on to the more costly process of building out a full project. Also in this round, we will be particularly interested in Open Government projects, an area we think shows great promise. Find out more at www.infoneeds.org. The challenge deadline has been extended to July 1, 2013.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
