Facebook Announces Selected Projects for the COVID-19 Latin America News Relief Fund Grant Program

30 juin 2020

Facebook and the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) announce the selected projects of the COVID-19 Latin America News Relief Fund Grant Program, a $2 million grant program to help Latin American news organizations strengthen their coverage of the pandemic, combat misinformation, invest in technology and help to sustain journalists reporting the crisis.
Forty-four news organizations from 12 countries will receive grants of between $10,000 and $40,000. Eighteen of them were also selected to participate in the Reader Revenue Accelerator, a program designed to foster innovation in the newsrooms.
The projects include national publishers, digital natives and also community outlets. The grants will help them develop multimedia products, invest in new equipment, and build reader-based revenue business models. People are looking for quality information about the pandemic and the goal of the program is to support news organizations from Latin America to invest in technology, innovative content and a long-term digital transformation for their business.
The grantees selected to participate in the Reader Revenue Accelerator will also attend a 10-week mentoring program led by Tim Griggs, a former New York Times executive, which will include weekly training sessions to help participants transform their business based on a reader revenue model. They will work with mentors, who will guide them through this process and support them to implement their ideas.
This is one of Facebook’s several initiatives to support news organizations across Latin America. Sign up for the Facebook Journalism Project newsletter to receive news, training and grant application opportunities.
