Knight Media Forum 2023

Organized by The Knight Foundation

Knight Foundation supports democracy in America by fostering informed, engaged, and equitable communities. The foundation invests in journalism, arts and culture in community, research in areas of media and democracy, and in the success of cities and towns where John S. and James L. Knight once published newspapers.

Event Overview

Democracy has always relied on independent journalism to provide citizens with accurate information and to hold the powerful accountable. Yet, several forces pose significant challenges to that effort, including the financial difficulties faced by many news organizations and a broad distrust of news among the public.

Recent trends have offered us reasons to think that we’re on the cusp of an upswing – and trust in local news has remained far stronger than in national news. Register for the the 2023 Knight Media Forum, the premier annual event for leaders in philanthropy, journalism and technology. Learn from leading thinkers and practitioners, and foster efforts to strengthen, scale and sustain informed and engaged communities.
