Pulitzer grant for crisis reporting open

Journalists interested in crisis reporting who reside outside the United States can apply for a US$7,500 travel grant.

The Persephone Miel Fellowship will fund a reporting project that focuses on a global crisis under-reported in the mainstream American media.

The fellowship, overseen by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in consultation with Internews, is designed to enable media professionals outside the United States to bring their work to a broader international audience. The fellowship will benefit those with limited access to other fellowships or international distribution of their work.

The fellowships are open to all journalists, writers, photographers, radio producers or filmmakers; staff journalists as well as freelancers and media professionals who are seeking to report from their home country. Women are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must be proficient in English.

The application deadline is February 15.
