Deadline: 9-Feb-23
Journalismfund.eu has announces the applications for Professional Development Grants for Environmental Journalism to support activities and services for environmental investigative journalism as a whole.
It seeks to promote collective development to build the capacities of environmental investigative journalists, by providing funding to project ideas from organisations and institutions for training and professional development programmes, i.e. skills-focused professional training or fellowship programmes targeting investigative journalists to upskill their capacities to report on environment related issues.
This programme, which sets a precedent in the philanthropic and in the non-profit journalism worlds because of its size and length of operation, will support teams of journalists with an interest in researching the environmental aspects of the stories they investigate.
Investigative journalism exposes injustices, creates pressure on those in power and mobilizes action. Yet, while news media and newsrooms still often operate nationally, most power structures and societal and environmental problems transcend national boundaries.
Funding Information
- The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported projects will be around €85.000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Legal entities (organisations or companies) can apply with a project proposal for collective development and support services to build the capacities of environmental journalists.
- Individuals (natural persons) cannot apply for this grant.
- Any incorporated legal entity can apply. In the application it should describe its experience with investigative journalism, environmental issues, and/or the development of supporting services. The proposed project should contribute to the further development of environmental investigative journalism in Europe.
