|description=OpenNews is a three-year partnership between the Knight Foundation and Mozilla to harness open web innovation for journalism. Through a fellowship program that embeds developers in newsrooms around the world, the sponsorship of hack days, and promoting journalism code, we will yield new tools, ideas, and news experiences that benefit both readers and newsmakers—all using open technologies.

Knight-Mozilla OpenNews is helping a global network of developers, journalists, makers, and hackers collaborate on innovative code and new ideas. We believe a community of peers working, learning, and solving problems together can create the tools journalism needs to thrive on the open web. OpenNews serves as the connective tissue in the journalism code community. We connect people writing innovative code in journalism with their peers so they can learn, solve problems and build new tools together. We offer onramps for the community to document, improve, and spread the the code they write and the practices they develop to the news industry, the open-source software community, and the world.
