KNIGHT FOUNDATION AWARDS MORE THAN $1.2 MILLION TO UNIVERSITIES, NONPROFITS TO
COMBAT DISINFORMATION

University of Minnesota, one of the Knight Foundation's granteesThe John S. and
James L. Knight Foundation has awarded more than $1.2 million to nine
universities and nonprofits to develop projects that help news organizations and
civil society reduce disinformation's impact on communities of color. 

"Recent scholarship shows that communities of color are often targeted to
discourage participation in our country's civic and political life," said Dr.
John Sands, Knight's senior director of media and democracy. "This challenge
isn't going away, but projects like these show promising paths forward. They
leverage community relationships and expertise to test and better understand the
mechanisms that build resilience to disinformation."



The Knight Foundation is a nonprofit that provides grants in journalism,
communities, and the arts to support democracy. The Foundation's grantees were
selected from an open call for proposals. Winners span geographies and various
methods for approaching this societal challenge. In St. Paul and Miami, for
example, grantees will focus on scalable models to address disinformation in the
Black community as well as research and report on disinformation targeting
Latino voters in the 2022 election. 



"This funding opportunity has allowed me to explore solution making and bridge
building in ways I wouldn't have otherwise been able to consider," said Dr.
Danielle K. Brown, a recipient of a Knight grant at the University of Minnesota
and a project lead. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to embark on this new
branch of my research, building data that centers the perspectives and concerns
of Black communities in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area."



The cohort also includes Texas Tech University, University of Texas-Austin and
Rutgers University, Santa Clara University, MediaJustice, Johns Hopkins School
of Public Health, Syracuse University, and Florida International University and
the Miami Herald.
