Patchwork Nation Gets $450K Grant from Knight Foundation
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation awarded a $450,000 grant to PBS NewsHour for its Patchwork Nation, which PBS NewsHour described as a “collaborative multimedia, multiplatform project that uses demographic data to divide the nation’s counties into 12 community types to better understand the socio-economic, political, and cultural shifts coursing through the country.”
Patchwork Nation is a joint effort by PBS NewsHour, The Christian Science Monitor, Politico, WNYC, and National Public Radio.
This marks the third grant to Patchwork Nation from the Knight Foundation, and it runs from April 1 through the end of December 2011.
From the release by PBS NewsHour:
Patchwork Nation explores what is happening in the United States by examining different kinds of communities over time.
