Facebook Co-Founder Aims to Bring Venture Capital Model to Media [Bloomberg]

The Knight Foundation, a sponsor of journalism-innovation projects,
named Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and digital experts from
Harvard and MIT to its board, where they’ll take a
venture-capital-like approach to media. In the Miami-based group’s
first-ever digital-related appointments, it also named Joichi Ito,
head of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab and John
Palfrey, who runs Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and
is also an adviser at venture firm Highland Capital Partners.
