The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting is a non-profit journalism organization which takes pride in supporting the independent international journalism. The Center tries to highlight under-reported topics and promote high-quality international reporting. It offers lots of educational programs for students to enrich their knowledge about global issues.
The Pulitzer Center is currently inviting proposals for projects on under-reported population issues. The travel grants will be for the production of cross-platform reporting projects to be placed in major newspapers, magazines, websites, radio, and/or TV programs. Interested journalists should submit proposals to the Pulitzer Center as soon as possible.
Terms of Travel Grant
The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting funds international travel costs associated with reporting projects on topics and regions of global importance, with an emphasis on issues that have gone unreported or under-reported in the mainstream American media. The amount of individual travel grants will depend on the specific project and detailed budget planning. Most awards fall in the range of $2,000 to $10,000 but depending on project specifics may be as much as $20,000.
On approved projects, half of the grant amount is generally paid just before travel and the remainder on submission of the principal material for publication or broadcast. Specific grant terms are negotiated during the application process.
Distribution
Proposed projects must include a credible plan for broad dissemination of the resulting work in U.S. media (print and/or broadcast). Applicants should be able to demonstrate interest from editors and/or producers working in wide-reaching U.S. media outlets. The credibility of a distribution plan is generally most evident in an applicant’s track-record working with the listed outlets. Please do not have editors send letters simply stating they would consider the work. Letters from editors and/or producers who have worked with you in the past, and are interested in working with you again, are encouraged.
Cross-Platform
The Pulitzer Center is increasingly seeking multi-media projects that combine print/photography and video to explore the issues. Applicants are encouraged to create partnerships with others and propose a complementary suite of deliverables. If you are only working in one medium, you may still apply.
Eligibility
Grants are open to all journalists, writers, photographers, radio producers or filmmakers; staff journalists as well as free-lancers of any nationality are eligible to apply.
