DEADLINE: EJN Story Grants to Support Reporting on Climate and Environmental Solutions in Asia Pacific

Internews’ Earth Journalism Network is offering story grants to support the production of in-depth solutions-focused media reports on environmental and climate challenges in the Asia-Pacific region. We welcome stories on scalable and replicable solutions that build community resilience to climate change and environmental degradation.

Recognizing that solutions stories help combat news avoidance, deepen audience engagement—and help drive both individual and collective action—EJN’s Asia-Pacific project, with support from Sida, is pleased to offer 15-20 story grants of up to US$2000 each to support solutions-focused reporting by Asia-Pacific journalists. In addition to funding, selected journalists will receive 1:1 editorial mentorship and training on how to produce rigorous and impactful solutions journalism. They will also be supported to develop a social media strategy and amplify their reporting on social media to reach wider audiences.

We welcome proposals that seek to robustly evaluate both the efficacy and limitations of implemented solutions and local initiatives that demonstrate resilience, applying journalistic practices of rigor and nuance.

Deadline: Feb 3, 2025
