Indigenous-led, and -serving newsrooms in the U.S. interested in reporting on solutions to the climate crisis can apply.
The Solutions Journalism Network, in partnership with the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA), is offering the Climate Beacon Newsroom Initiative. The program will build a cohort of five U.S.-based, Indigenous-led, and -serving newsrooms to receive 12 months of training and mentorship in covering climate topics through a solutions lens.
Together, these newsrooms will work individually and collectively to transform their coverage of the climate crisis to highlight and explore solutions within their communities.
Selected newsrooms will receive a US$15,000 grant, including a stipend up to US$5,000 to be used for travel to the 2026 Indigenous Media Conference (IMC) July 22-24 in Portland, Oregon.
The application deadline is Aug. 31.
