Applications for Host Newsroom Partners

Sponsors:
Report for America
Amount:
$30,000
External Deadline:

Opportunity Information:

The Report for America is welcoming applications to become a 2022 host newsroom partner. Through the program, Report for America pre-screens emerging journalists who meet the needs of host newsroom partners, and pays half their salary, up to $25,000 (with a cap of $30,000 for very experienced journalists). Partners and local donors will divide the rest, though Report for America can help organizations raise the local share.

The main criteria for selection include answering questions such as: Is there an important need? (Are there under-covered topics, communities or geographic areas?) What is the beat partners can create to deploy RFA corps members to help fill your news gap? Can you provide the local match? And do you provide good editing and mentoring?

Any news organization committed to providing objective, civically important local journalism is eligible to apply, including public radio stations, newspapers, digital narrative sites, commercial TV stations, community media centers, or journalism schools providing direct journalism. Organizations may be nonprofit or commercial.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Report for America website.
