In a world of shrinking newsrooms, journalists need to get creative about how to bring the stories they care about to light. Grants, fellowships and crowd funding have become one piece of that puzzle. But how do you take a project from conception to funding?
This session will be a crash-course on getting started down that road. We’ll talk about creating a beat or an area of expertise, putting together a proposal, and what a budget should look like. We’ll also talk about next steps when the first approach misses the mark.
Participants should come with specific questions or pitch ideas that we can discuss and workshop as a group.
