The Knight Commission on Trust, Media and American Democracy examines the causes and consequences of a collapse in trust in democratic institutions, with a focus on trust in the media, journalism and the information ecosystem. In addition, the Commission seeks to identify the perennial and emerging values and social obligations that should guide those who produce, distribute and consume news and information to ensure a functioning democracy. To accomplish this, the August 2017 workshop provided Commissioners and participants an opportunity for thoughtful discussion guided by a set of issue-driven white papers and readings.

Established in 1873 by Samuel Knight to construct and maintain the heavy machinery necessary for mining and timber in Gold Country, Knight's Foundry is the last foundry and machine shop powered by water. He developed an early water-powered turbine, using a nozzle that shot water off-center from the collecting cups so as to allow some of the kinetic energy from the splashing water to be converted to work, that is turning the heavy machinery that were necessary for the shops. By the 1890s the foundry was quite successful, among other things creating the very Knight Wheels that ran the company, some of which ran the first hydroelectric plants in the nation.
In 1883, Lester Pelton's competing wheel beat Knight's wheel in a competition, eventually becoming the industry standard. Samuel Knight soldiered on, creating other equipment, including the Knight Dredger Pumps used to dredge up silt on the Pacific seaboard. Knight died in 1913, and gave the property to his employees, who ran it as a machine shop for producing specialty parts (much of the work at the foundry remained run by hand). Among other things, the Foundry produced the iron work for the California State Capitol.
The last owner-employee passed in 1970 and the property went to a former customer, who ran the place until 1996, when his retirement and an economic downtown finally closed the plant. The foundry ran as a museum for a brief period, but finally shut down over high liability costs. It was reopened in 2016 as a museum.
