Newsrooms based in the United States can participate in a fellowship.
The Solutions Journalism Network is offering its Building Democracy Fellowship. The program challenges newsrooms to rethink how and why they cover government and democracy, expanding the vital coverage of what’s going wrong with newsworthy stories highlighting efforts that are going right, and what communities can learn from them.
Fifteen newsrooms will be selected and must commit at least one reporter and editor to the program.
Participants will receive a grant of US$10,000 and nine months of training, resources and coaching to integrate solutions journalism into their existing government reporting.
The deadline is July 31.
