Knight Fellowships: What Change Looks LikeThe Knight Fellowships program set out to transform itself in response to the new challenges and opportunities for 21st Century journalists and journalism, by focusing on journalism innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership. The 2009-10 Knight Fellows led the way: the first Fellows expected to create something tangible in at least one of those areas. Their results are impressively diverse and ambitious. We learned a lot from their experiences and we've made further adjustments in the program for the 2012 Fellows, who are just beginning their year here at Stanford. They've arrived with fascinating ideas and plans, and an infectious passion for journalism. We're excited to see what this year brings for them and our program. In meantime, the impact of the 2011 Fellows' work is unfolding, as several fellows continue to pursue the work they started here. Fellows created iPhone apps, tested mobile journalist-user collaboration models, developed new training programs to address journalistic challenges in their home countries and, in some instances, launched non-profit or for-profit journalistic ventures. They collaborated extensively with each other. Many enlisted Stanford students from other disciplines and got valuable coaching from faculty members. Others found informal partners at Silicon Valley technology companies. Their projects embody our commitment to support and challenge Knight Fellows to experiment, change and even abandon their proposals in favor of new ideas that spring from their interactions with other fellows and with the Stanford and Silicon Valley communities. Their work is terrific, we're proud of it and we want you to see it, so click on the link below. And let us know what you think, at: knight-innovation@lists.stanford.edu. – Jim Bettinger, Director
