The Pulitzer Center has announced fresh funding opportunities for journalists and newsrooms worldwide to pursue in-depth reporting on conflict and its impact. The initiative is designed to strengthen coverage of crises that often remain underreported, while ensuring journalists can work safely in volatile environments.
The program invites applications from freelance and staff reporters, offering support through short-term reporting grants and yearlong fellowships. Successful applicants will gain access not only to financial backing but also to training, data resources, and a global network of editors and engagement specialists.
With conflicts continuing to reshape communities across the globe, the Center emphasises the need for nuanced coverage that goes beyond breaking news. Past projects have included reporting from Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Darfur, Ethiopia, and Myanmar, highlighting the human cost of war and the pathways to peace.
The Center’s call comes at a time when journalists face mounting risks in conflict zones. By prioritising safety-conscious reporting, the grants aim to empower reporters to document displacement, civilian suffering, and peacebuilding efforts without compromising their security.
Applications are open to journalists worldwide, with a particular encouragement for local reporters embedded in affected communities. The Center notes that such perspectives are vital to producing coverage that informs both public debate and policy.
