This week, the MIT Center for Future Civic Media is hosting a major three-day conference retreat for our fellow recipients of recent Knight News Challenge grants. The conference, titled “The Future of Civic Media,” is now in full swing. A plethora of cutting-edge projects are being demonstrated — projects being developed by our center here at MIT, and projects under development by other Knight winners from across the globe. A huge amount of cross-pollination and collective brainstorming is happening among the winners, many of whom are meeting in person for the very first time. Links to further information about many of the Knight-funded projects being showcased here at MIT this week are available here and here.
