The Pulitzer Center is seeking applications for in-depth and investigative stories related to science misinformation, science denial, and the spread of pseudoscience. They are also interested in journalistic approaches to identifying and addressing the scourge of scientific misinformation and disinformation.
GRANT OVERVIEW
The Pulitzer Center is eager to support timely, in-depth journalism projects that tackle science denial and the spread of science misinformation and disinformation for its new Truth Decay grant initiative. This opportunity is open to all newsroom staff and independent journalists in the United States and abroad.
The goal of this new initiative is two-fold: 1) to expose the purveyors and platforms that spread science misinformation and disinformation with accountability journalism; and 2) to support newsrooms and journalists to develop their own innovative responses to the spread of mistruths in their communities or countries.
Who should apply?
This opportunity is open to U.S. residents and journalists around the world. We are open to proposals from freelance journalists, staff journalists, or groups of newsrooms working in collaboration with a project idea. They want to make sure that people from many backgrounds and perspectives are empowered to produce journalism. They strongly encourage proposals from journalists and newsrooms who represent a broad array of social, racial, ethnic, underrepresented groups, and economic backgrounds.
