The Knight-Batten Awards for Innovations in Journalism are open for entries. The deadline is June 9, 2009.
The awards spotlight news and information providers who offer more than multimedia journalism. The awards honor novel efforts that seize and create opportunities to involve citizens in public issues and supply entry points that invite their participation or spark their imagination.
Honored are pioneering approaches to journalism that:
Encourage new forms of information sharing.
Spur non-traditional interactions that have an impact on community.
Enable new and better two-way conversations between audiences and news providers.
Foster new ways of imparting useful information.
Create new definitions of news.
Use new technologies to impart news in creative ways.
Entries must consist of journalism content created by a news-producing initiative. Individuals must have been affiliated with such initiatives at the time of publication to enter. The contest is open to all news efforts originating between May 1, 2008, and June 8, 2009.
