Description
The Pulitzer Center's Data Journalism Grants are designed to support ambitious, data-driven journalism projects that bring attention to underreported issues around the globe. The program encourages the use of advanced data techniques—including machine learning, natural language processing, satellite imagery, and spatial data analysis—to produce compelling stories grounded in original data collection and analysis. Projects should emphasize strong visuals and impactful narratives that deepen public understanding of complex issues and hold those in power accountable. Collaborative efforts across newsrooms and international borders are particularly encouraged.
