YouTube Project Report
Once again, the Pulitzer Center and YouTube are partnering to give non-professional, aspiring journalists a chance to tell stories that might not otherwise be covered by traditional media. They’ll also get to compete for five $10,000 grants to work with the Pulitzer Center on an international reporting project.
Project: Report – the second edition – launched on February 1, 2010. YouTube is again partnering with the Pulitzer Center and the whole program is made possible by Sony Vaio & Intel.
Two rounds of assignments this time. Ten (10) semi-finalists will be selected from round 1 and will receive technology prizes from Sony and Intel that will help them produce their videos in round 2.
There will be five (5) winners this time instead of just one, each winning a $10,000 grant to work with the Pulitzer Center on an international reporting project
Assignments will be posted shortly so stay tuned.
*Submissions will be accepted beginning on February 1. The due date for the first assignment will be February 28th.
