Ranging from projects that turn no-frills mobile phones into radio stations to applications that help newsrooms manage a deluge of incoming mobile content, eight media innovation ventures this week received a total of $2.4 million as winners of the Knight News Challenge: Mobile.
Coverage of the winning projects included AllThingsD, Fast Company, VentureBeat, PandoDaily, Social Times, New York Observer BetaBeat, TechPresident, Mediabistro, Jounalism.co.uk, and Columbia Journalism Review.
PKPR partnered with the Knight Foundation to elevate its role as a leading voice and funder at the intersection of media innovation, digital democracy, and the fight against misinformation.
We developed strategic communications campaigns that translated complex research into compelling, accessible narratives for mainstream audiences. A signature moment came with Knight’s groundbreaking research on election misinformation on Twitter, which sparked national dialogue and secured in-depth coverage in NPR, Politico, Axios, New York Post, and The Daily Beast. The partnership has helped establish Knight as a go-to source for journalists covering technology, media, and civic engagement, while amplifying the visibility and impact of its grantmaking.
