Here’s something really cool: the Knight Foundation and Mozilla are running a contest for video journalists who have ideas on how to tell stories better using video.

Take a look!

Also read an interesting piece about it on PBS and here.

Some quick copy-and-paste info:

The Knight-Mozilla News Technology Partnership is a three-year initiative of the Knight Foundation and Mozilla to harness open-web innovation for journalism.

Through a series of innovation challenges and community events, we will identity 15 fellows that will be embedded in leading newsrooms around the world. These fellows will create new tools, ideas, and news experiences that benefit both readers and newsmakers—all using open technologies.

What are we doing?

Generating great ideas: through innovation challenges, open conversations and fellowships.
Training people: on taking ideas from concept to code.
Making software: demos and reference implementations of the best ideas and experiments for news. All built using open web technologies.
Thought leadership: through fellows, community & news partnerships
