Today is the deadline for public input on The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy. The commission, funded in part by the Knight Foundation, is working with PBS Engage to find out how you get your news and information today, and how would you improve the quality of information available to you.

This is the first major study in the digital age assessing how information needs are being met in communities nationwide. The commission has received about 1,000 comments so far on the future of community news. Here's a chance to add your voice.

We know this is serious stuff, and it's important. Spend a few minutes. Share your ideas and thoughts: http://www.pbs.org/publicinput.
