What does strong local news make possible?
People who know what’s happening in their neighborhoods. Communities equipped to weigh in on decisions. Reporting that holds those in power accountable.
We invest in local news because people need trusted information to help shape the places they call home.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of Press Forward, a funder network that has invested nearly $600 million in local news in just three years.
Through 50 local chapters, funders and communities are helping newsrooms adapt and report on what matters close to home.
Explore the stories behind that investment in Press Forward’s new impact report. Link in bio.

Funders, universities, employers and local government. Miami’s tech story needed them all. 🤝
Knight Foundation invested $2.25 million in @codepathorg in 2021. @miamidadecounty added $250,000. @fiuinstagram, @mdcollege , @floridaatlantic and @fmu_official opened their classrooms. CodePath built the courses and career support.
The result: students like Gavin Diaz went from FIU coursework to an internship to a full-time job in Miami.
"We did a pretty good job of keeping Miami locals in the loop," Gavin says.

How can a local grocery store break the cycles of poverty? 🥦
Meet @the.community.grocer, one of our 29 Knight Cities Challenge recipients.
Based in West Philadelphia, The Community Grocer is a new neighborhood store that’s serving more than produce. Supported in part by Knight Cities Challenge funding, the organization will cultivate local talent through a career development program for young adults interested in the culinary arts and hospitality industry. The store also offers SNAP-eligible meal kits and a community space with nutrition workshops, mental health resources and more.
“What we’re after is food sovereignty: a community’s right to define its own food system, improve its own health and build its own economy,” said Eli Moraru, co-founder of The Community Grocer.

In 2016, nearly 3 in 4 college students said free speech was secure in this country. Today: fewer than 2 in 5. That’s not a blip — it’s a decade-long slide, hitting a new low at a moment when who gets to speak, and how safely, is very much in question.

Turning a railroad into a community connector. 🚂

In an effort to connect the Allapattah neighborhood to its rich cultural roots and a stronger sense of community, The Allapattah Collaborative CDC is refreshing a railroad into a connection hub.

91% of high school students say protecting free speech is important to democracy. Yet fewer than 1 in 5 always feel comfortable speaking up in class.
New Knight Foundation-Ipsos research shows one experience closes that gap: a First Amendment class. High schoolers who’ve taken one are more likely to feel the First Amendment protects people like them (73% vs. 60%) and more likely to say they can speak freely without consequence (49% vs. 39%).
We surveyed more than 1,100 high school students ages 13-18 across the U.S. Read the full report. Link in bio.

Teens have a lot to say. Just not always to us.
48% of high schoolers who use AI feel freer sharing their true thoughts with a chatbot than with the people in their lives. That finding is from our new Knight-Ipsos research on high school students and free expression.
What does it mean for how the next generation communicates? Link in bio.

Curious where you fit in? Comment “engagement” and we’ll send you a link to the quiz 📲
Find your civic personality:
🟣 Mobilizers (9% of U.S. adults) are the most active across all engagement areas, including volunteering, politics, news and religion.
🟢 Connectors (28%) are involved in many ways, centering on community life, charitable giving and religious attendance. But they are less likely to take political action.
🟡 Spectators (31%) follow the news closely, but they’re less likely than Mobilizers and Connectors to participate in civic or political activities.
⚪ Outsiders (31%) participate at relatively low levels across news, politics, religion, and civic life. Still, they are not universally disengaged: 41% say they voted in 2024, and 24% attend religious services at least monthly.

A new Knight-Ipsos report looks at where high schoolers feel free to say what they think — and where they don’t.
At home, 74% always do. In the classroom, that drops to just 19%.
One factor that moves the number: trust. Students who trust their teachers report far greater comfort speaking up in class.
