Why News Matters: Update
Monday, April 09, 2012
We asked. You responded.
It turns out news does matter.
Six weeks ago, we invited you to submit ideas for our proposed 3-year, $6 million WHY NEWS MATTERS grantmaking initiative. By the April 2 deadline we had fielded 151 applications.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to share
their creative ideas. The Journalism Program staff is in the
midst of evaluating the applications. More than 90 percent of them focus
on news literacy awareness, education or training.
The first round of judging will be completed
by April 15.
