Earth Journalism Network
Grants
The
Earth Journalism Network Grants Fund is seeking to invest in strategic
opportunities for media development, build the capacities of local
environmental journalism networks and their members, and respond to their
communities’ needs.
In the past, the Earth Journalism Network has supported local initiatives such as training programs for Cambodian journalists in Climate Change reporting, the publication of an environmental stories series in the Moscow Times, the creation of a news challenge for young European environmental journalists that was rewarded with Rio+20 fellowships, and conferences that launched or expanded environmental journalism networks in Indonesia, Mexico, Uzbekistan, the Philippines and the Amazon region.
Generally speaking, the Earth Journalism Grants Fund will be focused on capacity building, but if special opportunities arise we are open to supporting fellowships and travel grants that support specific story ideas or coverage of key events that have involvement from multiple journalists. While content creation is important aspect of any project, applications without some form of network- or capacity-building component will not be considered. We also are focused on funding journalists and journalism organizations rather than advocacy organizations.
