"Be the media." -- Jello Biafra

From Poynter's New Media columnist, Howard Finberg:

J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism (http://www.J-NewVoices.org)is launching a nonprofit citizen media project that will help fund the start-up of 20 hyperlocal citizens news ventures over the next two years. And they even have some money to give away.

The New Voices project, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is calling for grant proposals from nonprofits, community groups and education institutions that want to start a news initiatives for a geographic community or a community of interest. Funded projects may receive as much as $17,000 in grants."
