The 2010 Knight News Challenge is the fourth year of a contest awarding as much as $5 million a year for innovative ideas that develop platforms, tools and services to inform and transform community news, conversations and information distribution and visualization.
Knight Foundation plans to invest at least $25 million over five years in the search for bold community news and social media experiments.
For the 2009 contest, nine winners were awarded close to $2 million.
