Opportunity description
The Pulitzer Center is now accepting applications for its Global Reporting Grants. The Pulitzer Center’s global reporting grants support in-depth, high-impact reporting on issues that are often overlooked in the media. These stories address the root causes of the crises around us and reach strategic and diverse audiences.
Eligibility Criteria:
The Pulitzer Center supports projects across all media platforms and encourages ambitious, prize-worthy proposals that combine print, photography, audio, and/or video for one or more news outlets. The most successful projects are those in which news outlets match the Pulitzer Center commitment by adding interactive or multimedia elements to enhance and showcase their original reporting.
Grants are open to reporters, photographers, radio/audio journalists, television/video journalists, and documentary filmmakers. Pulitzer Center committed to supporting journalists from diverse backgrounds and of all nationalities.
Grant Coverage:
Grants cover reporting costs and are based on reasonable, detailed budgets. Most grants for international travel are between $5,000 and $10,000 but maybe more or less depending on circumstances. Pulitzer Center expects news organizations to pay journalists for their work, though in exceptional cases, Pulitzer Center may consider stipends to cover a reporter's time.
Required Documents:
Applications must be written in English, and should include the following:
- A description of the proposed project in no more than 250 words.
- A thorough publication plan. Letters of interest or commitment from editors and news outlets should be included.
- A preliminary budget estimate, including a basic breakdown of costs. Travel grants cover hard costs associated with the reporting; please do not include stipends for the applicants. Local reporting partner/translator/driver fees are acceptable.
- Three samples of published work, either print or broadcast.
- Three professional references. These can be either contact information or letters of recommendation. The latter is encouraged when letters from interested producers or editors are available.
- A copy of your curriculum vitae.
Applications may also include a more detailed description of the project but this will be considered as an optional supplement only. The most important part of the submission is the 250-word summary.
