Marc Fest, over at Knight Foundation, pinged me about a new digital media partnership that they have launched with MTV.

I’ve been impressed with the way the Knight Foundation is catalyzing innovation and entrepreneurial thinking through their philanthropy.

Earlier this year, I wrote about the Knight Foundation’s News Challenge’s award winners and the significance of this new model of grantmaking.

The Knight Foundation today announced the award winners of its innovation prize, The News Challenge. I’ve been following the challenge and was very curious to see who they would ultimately fund—the list of folks is downright impressive.

What do I like about what the good folks at Knight did?
