Eleven media projects focusing on topics such as shareable audio, podcast discovery, and data visualization have each been awarded $35,000 in funding from the Knight Foundation as part of the most recent round of grants from the Knight Prototype Fund.

Stephanie Foo, a producer at This American Life, is building a tool that is attempting to make it easier to share audio on social media. Foo declined to comment when I asked her about the product she was developing, but in its announcement, Knight says the tool “will allow users to easily capture a short selection of a podcast or other audio, convert it into a video with word-for-word transcription and share it to social media.”

Foo and This American Life organized an audio hackathon last fall, and a number of the projects developed there addressed the issue of how to best share audio on social.

“Social media has always been a challenge for radio because you have to just link back to your site,” WNYC social media director Delaney Simmons told me earlier this month.

Another issue that’s long bedeviled audiophiles: podcast discovery. Beau York, founder of the podcast company Podastery, won a prototype grant to address podcast discovery. York has developed a podcast app, Satchel, and the grant will go toward “making podcasts easier to find through a platform that will allow location-based searches and allow people to share content through an embedded player on social media.”

The Institute for Nonprofit News is developing One-liner, a dashboard that aims to assist newsrooms “improve website performance and better understand the privacy implications of third-party services.” INN lead developer Ryan Nagle is heading up the project.

Kavya Sukumar, a developer who is soon starting a job at Vox, is independently building Chitram, an open-source tool that wants to make it easier for people to create animated data visualizations from datasets.

Other projects focus on Internet security and making all sorts of data — from public records to online reviews — more accessible to journalists.

Knight (which, full disclosure, is also a funder of Nieman Lab) launched the Prototype Fund in 2012 and has awarded more than $9 million in grants through the program since then. Knight also announced nine other Prototype Fund winners last month.
