Knight Foundation is headed to Texas for SXSW, and we figure we may as well celebrate all that’s going on in our network with a big ol’ county fair! We just launched the Knight News Challenge—this time on elections—so we’ll get a little campaigning in and hear from folks like you who have questions and great ideas.

Pull on your boots and let’s talk journalism, media innovation and civic tech in a down-home setting, complete with with food, drink, prototypes, and fun and games from Two Bit Circus.

Learn more about the $3 million News Challenge from former winners and Knight staff, including Journalism VP Jennifer Preston, Journalism Director Shazna Nessa, Media Innovation VP John Bracken and Media Innovation Director Chris Barr.

Connect with the Knight network, including news folks like The Texas Tribune, Prototype Fund winners, and companies we’ve invested in through the Knight Enterprise Fund. Or just drop by for a drink and a corn dog. See ya there!
