DEADLINE: Facebook Journalism Project for US Writers

Facebook's Journalism Project announces a new opportunity for U.S. writers creating public interest journalism in their communities. They’re committing $5 million to support local journalists interested in starting or continuing their work on their new platform for independent writers which you can learn more about here.

Applications are open until May 20, 2021 at 11:59 pm ET for those looking to gain access to this new platform and the services they are offering to build an independent business. They’re partnering with a number of nonprofits including the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) to share this opportunity with their networks. ICFJ and NAHJ will help evaluate applications as well.
