Freelancers contributing to opinion-forming media organizations in France, Germany and the United Kingdom can apply to receive grants up to EUR8,500.
The European Journalism Centre (EJC), in partnership with the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN), launches the Solutions Journalism Accelerator. The program seeks to create demonstrable impact on the public, key stakeholders and the media landscape through raising awareness of, and enabling media organizations to undertake more, solutions-focused development journalism.
Twelve journalists or small teams of journalists will receive grants to create and disseminate impactful stories, through a solutions journalism approach. They will provide new insights, shed light on underreported topics, focus on the Global South and explore global development issues.
Projects must be solutions-focused and address one or more of the first six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Grantees will also receive mentoring, coaching, resources and knowledge transfer to support solutions-focused development journalism in European news organizations.
The deadline is April 5.
