Description
The Pulitzer Center's Data Journalism Grants provide funding for original, data-driven journalism projects that address underreported issues and have the potential to influence public discourse. Proposals should leverage advanced data techniques—such as machine learning, natural language processing, spatial data analysis, satellite imagery, drones, and sensors—to uncover compelling stories supported by strong visuals. The Center encourages collaboration among newsrooms and seeks projects that push the boundaries of data collection, analysis, and storytelling. Projects must be intended for publication in media outlets and should aim to hold the powerful accountable.
