SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Visual Journalism Support for Mental Health Reporting
DESCRIPTION:“For this second cycle of the Mental Health Visual Desk\, CatchLight is looking to support local newsrooms whose reporting efforts are helping reframe how mental health is seen\, felt\, and understood — and\, crucially\, what can be done about it. \n“Building on our first year of work across California\, CatchLight is expanding this initiative nationally. We’ll award up to six grants to local newsrooms producing solutions-driven visual journalism on mental health. Both new and in-progress reporting projects are eligible. \n“Mental health is a critical and complex issue intersecting with nearly every aspect of social life and public policy. Visual journalism — through photography\, illustration\, video\, data visualization\, and design — can play a powerful role in illuminating these connections with nuance and empathy. This cycle\, we’re especially interested in reporting that doesn’t just document the crisis\, but examines possible solutions and what’s already working: the people\, programs\, and policies making a real difference in communities across the country. \n“Through this initiative\, CatchLight aims to support visual storytelling that goes beyond statistics to reflect local community experiences\, challenges\, cultural context\, and structural realities — with an eye toward community solutions. \n“We are seeking proposals from local newsrooms interested in producing visually-driven stories that explore mental health through a solutions lens. \n“This initiative offers both financial support [$6\,000] and visual editorial guidance to help newsrooms deepen their coverage\, enhance storytelling impact\, leverage visuals for impactful community engagement and center the lived experiences of local communities\, issues and perspectives often underrepresented in mainstream media.”

DESCRIPTION:“As artificial intelligence grows more influential\, the companies building it and the policymakers regulating it warrant the kind of scrutiny that journalism exists to provide. We believe rigorous\, independent reporting serves the public interest—demystifying technical developments\, following the money\, and documenting what happens when these systems enter the real world. \n“Tarbell offers grants of $1\,000–$20\,000 to support original reporting on AI published in established outlets\, whether from freelancers or staff. We primarily fund written journalism but are open to supporting other formats. \n“This round\, we’re seeking applications across six focus areas: \n\nAccountability reporting on frontier AI companies\nAI policy and politics\nAI explainers and analysis\nAI in government and militaries\nAI labor impacts\nAI developments in China”

SUMMARY:13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum
DESCRIPTION:Travel grants are available for journalists to cover the 13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum. \n“The HLF is an annual networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science have the unique chance to meet distinguished scientists in their fields for one week of interdisciplinary academic dialogue. The vibrant atmosphere of the event inspires a blend of scientific discussion and informal interactions among the participants\, setting the HLF apart from traditional conferences. Panel discussions\, lectures and workshops spur scientifically driven debate\, which is then balanced by a variety of social events\, permitting participants to pursue their discourse in an inviting environment. \n“Attending journalists will have the exclusive opportunity to interview renowned laureates from mathematics and computer science\, both in press panels and one-on-one. In addition\, they will be able to engage directly with some of the most promising young researchers from those fields. Journalists are permitted to take part in virtually all of the Forum’s scientific program elements as well as social gatherings in the evenings. Opportunities will also be provided for journalists to network and collaborate with their peers in the press corps. \n“Grants cover travel and visa costs as well as room and board during the stay in Heidelberg. \n“Journalists who do not receive a travel grant or who have missed the travel grant application deadline [of April 8] may nevertheless apply for accreditation to cover the Forum at their own expense.”
