Join the Knight Foundation for the 2021 Knight Media Forum will examine how local news innovators and their supporters are responding to the pandemic, the national reckoning over systemic racism, and misinformation that undermines the trust needed for democracy to function. It will highlight business models that are gaining traction and approaches to audience engagement that are changing local journalism from within.
