EJN is offering reporting grants to Indigenous journalists to support the production of in-depth environmental stories that call attention to climate justice, biodiversity, sustainable ecosystems, Indigenous sovereignty and leadership, and other issues related to the rights and well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must self-identify as Indigenous or belonging to a tribe and will be asked to provide details on their Indigenous or tribal affiliations in the application. EJN is utilizing the ILO Convention No. 169 as a baseline for eligibility and will seek to establish a diverse cohort from a wide range of Indigenous and tribal communities and nations.
Applicants can be from any country in the world.
Journalists who have previously received Indigenous Story Grants from EJN in 2021 and/or 2022 are eligible for this opportunity, but preference will be given to those who have not yet received support.
BENEFIT:
To increase Indigenous representation in environmental reporting, EJN is launching a training program for 8 to 9 Indigenous journalists with a grant of up to $1,400 each.
