The document describes the Knight-Mozilla Challenge which aims to fund innovative open web applications that can help shape the future of news. It provides details on how developers and designers can submit ideas and prototypes for news-focused apps, with the opportunity to receive funding to build their project full-time in a newsroom for a year. Attendees are encouraged to brainstorm app ideas in groups and submit their initial sketches to the challenge website for consideration.
13. What to do:
1. Submit an idea (or many).
Just a sketch will do.
2. If it’s good, we help you prototype.
We might fly you to Berlin.
3. If it’s great, you may end up in a newsroom for a
year where you get to build your app.
16. Next steps
1. Find three people you don’t know.
2. Brainstorm ideas with them. Make a sketch.
3. Take a photo of your idea and submit it to
drumbeat.org/journalism
4. Fuel your creativity with beer & pizza (on us!)
