Through a fellowship program that embeds developers in newsrooms around the world, the sponsorship of hackdays, organizing learning labs, and promoting journalism code, we will yield new tools, ideas, and news experiences that benefit both readers and newsmakers—all using open technologies. mozillaopennews.org | ||

The vision
Knight-Mozilla OpenNews is about building an ecosystem to help journalism thrive on the open web. It's about producing next-generation web solutions that solve real problems in news. It's about supporting communities of developers and journalists as they make, learn and invent together. And it's about deploying fellows—and code—into news organizations to collaborate and innovate in new ways.
