Join us on Thursday, July 30, at 3:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern time for a live online discussion about how the head of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is circumventing the top-down nature of foundation giving and seeking the “wisdom of the crowd.”

Alberto Ibargüen, the Knight Foundation’s president, will be available to answer questions about the future of journalism and Knight’s new philanthropy.

The Chronicle’s online discussions are free and open to everyone. People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of getting answers.
