What are Global Reporting Grants?
The Pulitzer Center offers Global Reporting Grants aimed at supporting in-depth, high-impact journalism on critical issues that often go unnoticed in mainstream media. These grants are designed as a ‘catch-all,’ allowing journalists to pursue stories without restrictions on topic or reporting location.
Eligibility and Application Process
Both staff and freelance journalists from around the world are encouraged to apply. There are no deadlines for submissions, as grants are awarded on a rolling basis. The grants cover reporting costs, provided they are supported by reasonable and detailed budgets. Typically, awards for international travel range from $5,000 to $10,000, although amounts may vary based on each project’s needs.
What Makes a Successful Project?
Successful projects often combine various media platforms, including print, photography, audio, and video, to enhance reporting. The Pulitzer Center encourages proposals that incorporate interactive and multimedia elements, increasing engagement with the audience. It’s essential for news organizations to adequately compensate journalists for their work, but in exceptional cases, stipends may be provided to cover a reporter’s time.
This grant also emphasizes diversity, welcoming applications from journalists of all backgrounds. If you have a project idea that aligns with the Pulitzer Center’s mission, visit their website for more detailed information and to submit your proposal today: Pulitzer Center Global Reporting Grants.
