NABJ is offering grant funding to support freelance reporters and producers at Black-owned print, broadcast, and digital outlets through the “Black Press Grant Program.”
The program is supported by a grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).
The grants aim to help ensure Black-owned media outlets are resourced with original and innovative coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and its intersections within the nation’s K-12 education system.
Journalists and those within Black-owned media are invited to submit original proposals for investigative, feature, and enterprise for a single or series of original stories published/broadcasted in Black-owned media.
Fast grants to freelancers and Black-owned media will be up to $10,000. NABJ will also distribute content produced from the grant through BlackNewsandViews.com, its newly launched news platform.
Program term extended to May 2023.
Eligibility
The grant is open to journalists working at a Black-owned media organization within the United States or serving as a freelance journalist to a U.S. Black-owned news organization. NABJ membership is not required for funding support, but is helpful.
