Nathaniel Whittemore of the Do Good Well blog on the new Knight Community Information Challenge:

“…the implication for the Knight grant might be that smart community foundations find ways to help their communities tap into existing citizen-led or socially concerned news networks and become human filters and hubs for the information most relevant for their daily lives.”

The rest of the post offers distinctions between communities, networks, depth, and breadth.

Do you think community foundations should tap into existing networks or develop new ones?
