Description
The Pulitzer Center’s Conflict & Peace grant funds journalists and newsrooms to pursue in-depth, sustained reporting on the causes and consequences of conflicts worldwide. The program emphasizes coverage of underreported issues such as mass migration, authoritarianism, gender violence, and the struggle over natural resources, as well as pathways to peace and the long-term effects of conflict on communities. Proposals should demonstrate a commitment to safety, diversity, and inclusive storytelling, and must include a robust distribution plan to reach broad audiences. The Center strongly supports journalist safety, requiring specific safeguards for projects in hostile or dangerous environments.
