Southeast Asia Rainforest Journalism Fund - The Pulitzer Center

Organizer: The Pulitzer Center

Description:

The Pulitzer Center through the Southeast Asia Rainforest Journalism Fund (RJF) is calling grant applications from journalists that report in Cambodia. Journalists (freelancers or staff), editors, and media organizations are invited to submit proposals on issues concerning rainforests in Cambodia.

Consider the goals and impact of your reports. How can your reports spark conversation and raise awareness (among policy makers, Indigenous peoples and local communities who live near and depend on the forest, scientists and researchers) about issues such as forest management and governance, deforestation, forest degradation, and biodiversity conservation in Cambodia?

The proposal should highlight local voices and have a strong distribution plan in influential local and/or regional news media (can be print, online and/or broadcast, or a combination). The plan must include commitment letters from interested editors and publishers working in the news media outlets you propose.

Applications can be submitted in English. Reporting can be done in English or Khmer. The review committee will select successful projects meeting the proposal criteria, with priority given to collaborations that can reach a broad domestic and/or international audience. 

Applications due: on a rolling basis
