Our past grantees have routinely surprised us with very novel ways of reaching audiences with their work. They’ve shared their reporting via shortwave radio with Indigenous tribes, bus stop poster campaigns, and even with comic books and poetry performances.
To save our grantees and staff time, we thought it would be helpful to outline editorial products and project expenses we don’t fund: Books (we can support a story that might become part of a book, as long as the story is published independently in a media outlet) Feature-length films (we do support short documentaries with ambitious distribution plans) Staff salaries (with the exception of some of our yearlong fellowships) Equipment purchases (equipment rentals are considered on a case-by-case basis) An outlet’s general expenses (for example rent, utilities, insurance) Routine breaking news and coverage Advocacy/marketing campaigns Data projects aimed solely at academic research.
