The Knight Foundation News Challenge has spoken to the tune of $12M in grants, and two — count ’em, two — projects sponsored by the Berkman Center are among the winners. Global Voices got a $244,000 two year grant to support its outreach program, and the Citizen Media Law Project got funded to help citizens do better journalism. Ethan‘s got some excellent bloggage about all this, as does Doc.

Hearty congratulations to all the winners. Lots of good projects now will be able to advance. [Tags: knight globalvoices gv berkman citizen_media journalism dan_gillmor]
