CAPE TOWN. And the winners are ...!
As the 2007 Cape Town World Association of Newspapers’ Conference and World Editors Forum’s meeting on a wet, cool Wednesday drew to a close, the first-year winners of the Knight News Challenges were announced by Eric Newton of the Knight Foundation.
Newton, the Vice- President of the Knight Foundation, firstly promised to finish in five minutes, and proceeded to ask for volunteers from various countries to take up a challenge.
The Knight News Challenge uses as its slogan: “You invent it. We fund it.”
It is all about cooperation. The most inspiring message of the conference, Newton jokingly pointed out, is for delegates to visit www.newschallenge.org.
The prizewinners of 2006 were briefly highlighted by Newton before he challenged the audience to visit this website, to see who won prizes in the past, and to enter the competition.
Newton emphasized three areas which could be particularly rewarding for competitors:
New digital innovations
It must be newsworthy and in the public’s interest
It has to involve a specific geographic community.
So. While you are on the Net, why don’t you skip to www.newschallenge.org. You just may have one of those AHA-moments!
