ICFJ’s Reporting Grants program is designed to expand ICFJ’s offering to its global network by introducing individual reporting grants for projects that might not fit under existing programs.

We are delighted to announce a brand-new reporting grants initiative open to all journalists in our global network. ICFJ will award  $2,000 - $3,000 grants and possibly mentorship to at least two winning proposals. The deadline to submit a proposal is 11.59pm EST on Friday, November 1.

A review committee will select the best proposals. The reporting period will run for three months. Journalists who reside in a country where ICFJ does not currently offer an active program are especially encouraged to apply.

The first call for applications is focused on climate and climate change. ICFJ is looking for high-quality reporting that explores this topic in the Global South.

The Nova Media Fellowship supports print, broadcast, and digital journalists proposing to immerse themselves in the health field and complete media projects that acknowledge and explore the many factors that promote well-being, prevent disease, contribute to healing, and increase an individual’s ability to flourish and live a fulfilling life. At this time, the Media Fellowship is not inviting book proposals.

The Media Fellowship program aims to give recipients the time, space, and resources to research, write, and speak about issues that validate and show the importance of an expansive health framework. Media Fellowships are one year in duration and full-time, allowing recipients to undertake their projects in a comprehensive and creative manner. The Nova Institute strongly prefers that Media Fellows take a leave of absence from any organization where they are currently employed during the fellowship period. Projects begin in fall 2024, ideally on September 16, although the start date can be flexible to accommodate individual Fellows.

The 2024 Media Fellowship award is $100,000 over 12 months, with up to an additional $7,500 reimbursed for travel expenses per Nova’s travel policies. The award is intended to support a Fellow’s living expenses, project-related expenses, conference fees, health insurance, etc. We will separately cover costs associated with attending Nova Institute-organized meetings, workshops, or events. The fellowship does not fund enrollment for degree or non-degree study at academic institutions.

The network will establish a collaborative ecosystem of journalists around the world. Together, they will uncover the harmful and illegal practices of the fishing and extractive industries, systemic threats to marine biodiversity and coastal communities, and the supply chains facilitating global demand for the ocean’s increasingly dwindling resources.

Our fact checkers verify everything from broad claims to small details, such as dates and the spellings of names, using both interviewed and gathered sources. Fellows also have the opportunity to attend story meetings, contribute to editorial-planning sessions, and shadow-edit articles. They have access to seminars led by the editors, staff, and contributors to The Walrus, which include in-depth training in fact-checking and sessions on topics including copy editing, long-form editing, and feature writing.
