COVID-19 Emergency Fund for Journalists

Description

In the most difficult of times, journalism can play several roles in supporting communities around the globe. It can disseminate critical information to keep people safe and informed, it can illuminate stories that bring us hope and remind us of our shared human experience, and it can help us find and share solutions to wicked problems.

As COVID-19 continues to evolve and impact communities around the globe, the National Geographic Society is launching an emergency fund for journalists all over the world who wish to cover COVID-19 within their own communities. This fund will place particular emphasis on delivering news to underserved populations, particularly where there is a dearth of evidence-based information getting to those who need it. They are interested in local and even hyper-local distribution models. This fund is designed to quickly deliver support so that both individual stories and longer series of content may be created.

  • Write a report: Beyond reporting on medical and physical health related to COVID-19, they especially encourage reporting that covers social, emotional, economic, and equity issues. Narratives around the Pandemic necessarily include facts and numbers, but ultimately, must also go deeper—telling the stories of inequities that COVID-19 has brought to light. Reporting may cover any aspect of the virus and its fallout, including but not limited to: 1-Social consequences of COVID-19 and measures to contain it, particularly related to equity such as its impact on immigrant communities, domestic violence, and early childhood education. 2- Stories of resilience and solutions that could be applied on a regional or global scale. 3-Novel forms of data visualization or science communication to help communities better understand how to protect themselves. 4-Lessons learned from local response(s) to COVID-19 that could be applied to other large-scale challenges, such as climate change or the refugee crisis. 5- Best practices of how educators, students, and schools are reacting to this crisis, particularly as they illuminate under-resourced schools. - Note: Priority communities include: Those at high risk or hit especially hard by the virus, indigenous communities, immigrant or refugee communities, underserved, urban, rural, elderly populations, and children.
