Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is Offering reporting grants to support the production of in-depth stories that highlight previously untold threats to global biodiversity or explore new conversation-based solutions. The media has an important part to play in raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity issues and enabling citizens, policymakers and private companies to determine how they can better address the drivers of biodiversity loss. To support journalists around the world to produce engaging and fact-based stories for their home audiences, EJN is offering story grants through the Biodiversity Media Initiative, with financial support from Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin.
WORTH
- EJN expect to award story grants of up to $5,000 each, depending on the proposal and needs.
ELIGIBILITY
- Applications are open to journalists (online, print, television, radio) and other expert media practitioners with experience in investigative reporting and covering environmental issues.
- We encourage applications from freelancers and staff from all types of media organizations—international, national, local and community-based.
- We’ll accept both individual and group applications, but for the latter we ask that the application is made in the name of one lead applicant who will receive the grant on the group’s behalf, if awarded.
- EJN reserves the right to disqualify applicants from consideration if they have been found to have engaged in unethical or improper professional conduct.
