so we built a garage

I thought some of you might be interested in a talk I gave today on behalf of Knight Foundation.

This morning, my colleague Robertson Adams recorded my presentation of the News Challenge Garage (the incubator site I helped build for the Knight News Challenge contest to fund innovative digital news delivery ideas) at the Communications Network 2008 Conference in Chicago: (note: it’s 9:50 long; promise it’s slightly better than the video still below indicates)

And here are the slides:

Communications Network – News Challenge Garage

And this is the IdeaLab blog post by David Sasaki of Rising Voices that I mention (smart analysis of incubator sites used in philanthropy).

Thoughts on the Garage? You, wonderful kthread readers, can apply for part of the $5 million Knight gives away every year until November 1st—

p.s. If you’re in Chicago, we’ll be talking more about how to apply tonight at 6:30 at Columbia College. Details here. Update: video and images from the event are here.

    Excellent talk, K. If only I were so at ease behind a podium! I rushed through a talk just yesterday and thought to myself – how is it that I can still get nervous after all this time?!

    A compelling talk on issues that the mainstream media seem afraid to tackle. Nice work, kt.
