The Pulitzer Center seeks funding ideas from journalists covering tropical rainforests anywhere in the world for widely read major news media sites.
Apply now if you are a journalist covering news for publications situated WITHIN the nations of the Amazon, Congo Basin, or Southeast Asia regions.
The supported international journalism projects will focus on the following themes:
- Tropical forests’ role in the overall climate equation and weather patterns globally, regionally and locally, and the consequences for human life and living conditions caused by deforestation
- Deforestation drivers
- Solutions to halt deforestation
Benefits
- The Pulitzer Center will provide funding for international travel expenses related to reporting initiatives on tropical rainforests, with a focus on topics that have received little or no coverage in the country’s traditional media.
- The exact project and careful budget planning will determine the amount of each travel grant. The majority of grants are in the $5,000–$15,000 range, however they can be greater depending on the particulars of the project.
Eligibility
- Global Audience Rainforest Journalism Fund Grants open to all journalists, writers, photographers, radio producers or filmmakers; staff journalists as well as free-lancers of any nationality are eligible to apply.
- Applications must be in English.
Application
Include the following in the applications:
- A 250-word maximum description of the proposed project, including the distribution strategy
- A rough budget estimate including a cost breakdown at the very least. Please do not include stipends for the applicants; travel funds cover the reporting’s hard costs. Driver, fixer, and translator costs are permitted.
- Three examples of printed or broadcasted content that has been published
- three references from the workforce. These could include letters of recommendation or contact details. When letters from interested producers or editors are available, the latter is encouraged.
- A duplicate of your resume
