The Knight Foundation supports transformational ideas that promote quality journalism, advance media innovation, engage communities and foster the arts. We believe that democracy thrives when people and communities are informed and engaged. Since 2007, Knight has invested more than 0 million in new technologies and techniques, including in more than 200 community news and information experiments. Its media innovation portfolio seeks to improve public media, discover new platforms for investigative reporting, increase digital and media literacy, promote universal broadband access and support a free and open Web. Part of Knight’s activities focuses on 26 communities where the Knight brothers owned newspapers,
with donor-advised programs in 18 and program director-led programs in the eight ”resident Knight communities” (Akron, Ohio; Charlotte, N.C.; Detroit, Mich.; Macon, Ga.; Miami, Fla.; Philadelphia, Pa.; San Jose, Calif.; and St. Paul, Minn.).

During the past several years, the Knight Foundation has required digital media advising, ideation and training for staff/ journalists/ Fellows in the U.S. and abroad.

Webbmedia Group has advised on numerous issues, including external digital communications and outreach. In addition, we have created custom research, training programs and more for the Foundation.
