Knight Foundation’s News Challenge contest winners are blogging on a new group blog launched by PBS called the MediaShift Idea Lab blog. Each of the 36 bloggers won a grant in the Knight News Challenge to help fund a startup idea or to blog on a topic related to reshaping community news. The writers will use the Idea Lab to explain their projects, share intelligence and interact with the online community, according to a press release. There’s already a must-read article from Jay Rosen titled “Ready? Here’s My Own Formula for Success With an Online News Site.”
