Blue Ribbon Commission Calls for Urgent Attention to the Information Needs of America’s Communities

From: Knight Foundation:

Warning of an erosion of democracy with the creation of "second-class citizens" in the digital age, a blue-ribbon national commission today calls for universal broadband access to help meet the information needs of America's communities.

The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy releases its report today in Washington DC, setting a vision for healthy, informed, democratic communities.

Just as they need good schools and safe streets to function well, America’s communities need a free flow of useful information, the Commission says.

In “Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in the Digital Age” the Commission offers 15 policy measures to help Americans meet their local information needs.
