Do you know a reporter of courage, integrity and intelligence? That journalist could win the next John Chancellor Award, receive $25,000, and be honored at Columbia University.

J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism and the McCormick Foundation are seeking to fund four women-led projects that will rock the world of journalism. 

The Pulitzer Center is excited to announce the second edition of Project: Report. Once again, the Pulitzer Center and YouTube are partnering to give non-professional, aspiring journalists a chance to tell stories that might not otherwise be covered by traditional media. They’ll also get to compete for five $10,000 grants to work with the Pulitzer Center on an international reporting project. 

The Fund's Board of Directors meets regularly throughout
the year to consider grant applications. It is Fund policy
to pay the first half of approved grants to successful
applicants, with the second half of the grant paid on evidence
of publication of a finished project in accordance with the
original proposal. Second half grants are not guaranteed if
projects are not completed in a timely fashion or if the
projects are published in a different form or in a different
outlet than originally proposed. The projects financed by
the Fund are in print, broadcast and Web media and concern
both domestic and international topics.

InTheFray seeks an executive director to oversee business and organizational matters for the magazine.
