Throughout the year, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting funds international travel costs associated with reporting projects on topics and regions of global importance, with an emphasis on issues that have gone unreported or under-reported in the mainstream American media.
Journalists of any nationality on staff at print or broadcast outlets as well as freelancers are eligible for support, as long as their proposed projects include a plan for distribution in the American mainstream media.
The amount of individual travel grants will depend on the specific project and detailed budget planning. Most awards fall in the range of US$3,000 to $10,000 but depending on project specifics may be as much as US$20,000.
Applications will be considered upon receipt, with an emphasis on making projects as timely and newsworthy as possible.
