Akron-area innovators, do you have a great idea? You have another chance at part of a $5 million prize. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is inviting application submissions for its second annual Knight Cities Challenge. The submission period starts Thursday and ends Oct. 27. The Miami-based foundation makes grants to cities that were home to newspapers in the former Knight Ridder newspaper group. Akron was the birthplace of the group and home to the Beacon Journal, John S. Knight’s first newspaper.
