SUMMARY:Uncovering AI’s Human Cost: A Non Technical Toolkit for Investigative Reporters
DESCRIPTION:“Holding AI systems accountable can seem overwhelming due to the complexity of the technology. But not all investigations into AI require a high level of technical ability. Countless stories about AI are first and foremost about people—those who make the technology\, those who deploy it and\, perhaps most importantly\, those who are harmed by it. \n“In this workshop organized by the Pulitzer Center and GIJN\, participants will be introduced to a framework that breaks down each development stage of AI into an area of coverage and learn about how they can find and report stories within each one. Students will walk away with methods and approaches on how to tackle their own AI accountability stories and learn from low-tech examples that yielded high impacts.”

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.”

SUMMARY:Reporting on Toxics and Health: Lessons From Covering “Forever Chemicals”
DESCRIPTION:“Accurate reporting on chemicals and health is more important than ever before. While science clearly links chemical exposures to many health harms\, this issue has become increasingly politicized. Petrochemical corporations often fuel the confusion and proactively manufacture doubt about the science. \n“In this [Collaborative for Health & Environment] webinar\, award-winning chemical pollution reporters Sharon Lerner of ProPublica and Stéphane Horel of Le Monde will discuss the importance of accurate local reporting on toxic chemicals. Focusing on PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ as an example\, the speakers will explore the critical role of journalists in covering chemical health hazards\, public decision-making\, and industry strategies to influence both policy and science.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Women Photograph Mentorship Program
DESCRIPTION:“We’re now accepting applications for the Women Photograph Mentorship Program! This year\, we will pair six early career photographers with an industry leader as a mentor\, and provide $3\,000 in support for work on a local visual storytelling project over the course of six months. \n“We are currently seeking applications from women and nonbinary photographers of any age with less than five years of professional work experience who might be interested in long-term support. Please make sure to read the FAQ at the bottom of the page\, but if you still have questions please contact hello@womenphotograph.com. \n“The mentorship program will take place remotely over the course of July-December of 2026\, and requires proposing work on a specific project throughout that period. We will strongly prioritize photographers looking to work locally / within their own communities\, and estimate that the mentorship will require a minimum of 8-12 hours of engagement per month. Mentors will be selected specifically because of their areas of expertise in relation to each selected mentee’s project and practice. \n“The photographers who stand to benefit most from this program are already at the beginning of a documentary/photojournalistic practice and looking for targeted guidance and mentoring in the early stages of their career.”

SUMMARY:From the Panama Papers to the Epstein Files: Investigating Leaks and Large-Scale Data in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:“From the Panama Papers to the Epstein Files\, large troves of data — whether leaked documents\, legal records\, or financial databases — have reshaped investigative journalism over the past two decades. Investigative journalists today face an overwhelming proliferation of data\, growing authentication challenges fueled by AI-generated forgeries\, and mounting pressure on source protection. At the same time\, new technologies are revolutionizing how journalists can download\, index\, and analyze massive datasets to uncover stories of global significance. \n“This GIJN webinar brings together leading experts in investigative journalism to share hands-on strategies for securely managing leaks and navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Experts will walk through the full life cycle of an investigation built on large data\, from initial assessment and secure data management to corroboration\, collaboration\, and what to do with the data after publication.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: EJN Workshop on Covering Ocean Science and Deep-Sea Exploration for Brazilian Journalists
DESCRIPTION:“Few people realize that humanity has only visually documented an area of the seafloor roughly equivalent to the size of the São Paulo metropolitan area—the vast majority of the ocean floor remains unmapped\, unexplored and unknown. But deep sea ecosystems are critical to global biodiversity\, carbon storage and climate regulation\, and are increasingly threatened by human activity such as deep-sea mining and ocean trawling. A map in the same report referenced above shows how little of the seafloor off Brazil’s own coast has been visually documented\, underscoring the scale of the opportunity and the urgency of building public and political awareness. \n“With support from the Schmidt Ocean Institute\, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is pleased to announce an in-person three-day workshop opportunity for up to 10 Brazilian journalists to enhance their reporting on topics related to ocean science\, marine biodiversity and deep-sea exploration. \n“Selected participants will travel to Fortaleza\, Brazil\, to attend the workshop which will take place from September 14-16…. For participants based outside the Fortaleza area\, EJN will cover non-refundable economy-class airfare\, accommodation\, meals\, travel medical insurance and ground transportation costs related to workshop participation. Participants based in the Fortaleza area will receive modest per diem to cover their daily travel costs.”
