Key Points
· The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation supplemented its standard evaluation approach by engaging professional journalists to elaborate on evaluation findings.
· The resulting reports are more direct, even critical, than any prior Knight Foundation attempt to evaluate and assess.
· It produced deeper looks into the intent and outcome of major initiatives, analyzing and addressing flaws in the theories of change underlying initiatives.
· The goal of reaching external audiences was not achieved.
