DEADLINE TO APPLY: JUNE 6th

Hey there, a lot of you probably know about this, but it would break
my heart if someone missed out so here's a copy of the "last chance to
apply" announcement from our good friend and proud SFC alum, Ben
Moskowitz
====================================================
Knight-Mozilla News Challenge
DEADLINE TO APPLY: June 6th
http://drumbeat.org/journalism
Working together, technologists and journalists can innovate faster.
The Knight Foundation and Mozilla are seeking fresh ideas for
web-based journalism. Enter the Knight-Mozilla News Challenge and we
will help turn your back-of-napkin sketches into working software.
We'll pair you with collaborators and help get your ideas off the
ground. We are even offering paid fellowships inside newsrooms at BBC,
Al-Jazeera, The Guardian,
Boston.com, and Zeit Online.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and harness the
transformative potential of the open web. To get started, simply
submit an idea to one of the following three challenges before June
6th:
•Unlocking Video
http://mzl.la/unlocking-video
How would you bring the best qualities of the web to news video?
•Beyond Comment Threads
http://mzl.la/beyond-comment-threads
How would you create more dynamic spaces for news discussion?
•People-Powered News
http://mzl.la/people-powered-news
How would you improve the way we create and consume news?
We don't need a full proposal—just a good idea. Learn more at
http://drumbeat.org/journalism, follow @knightmozilla, and join the
community mailing list:
http://mzl.la/mojolist.
What's your idea?
