[EL] Webinar for state and local election officials on the Knight News Challenge - Thursday, March 11, 1:00-2:00pm ET

[Rick Hasen]

See this message below:



The Knight News Challenge on Elections is now open for applications, 
asking people to submit ideas that address the question: How might we 
better inform voters and increase civic participation before, during and 
after elections? A collaboration between Knight, the Democracy Fund, the 
Hewlett Foundation and the Rita Allen Foundation, the challenge is 
offering more than $3 million for innovative ideas.

To encourage the participation of local and state election offices and 
employees, the Democracy Fund along with the Knight Foundation have 
scheduled a webinar just for you to learn more about the News Challenge. 
This webinar will be Thursday, March 11, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET.
