Grant applications now open to support reporting on transgender issues

Journalists interested in covering transgender issues are eligible to win a grant to support their work, Poynter announced today.

Three journalists will win grants ranging from $10,000 to $15,000 in a competitive process funded by the Gill Foundation.

Applicants must attend live or watch replays of “Transgender Coverage: Avoiding rhetoric to deliver meaningful journalism,” a two-part webinar designed to enhance journalists’ understanding of the issues, legalities and legislation involving the trans community. The two sessions, part of Poynter’s Beat Academy training series, are set for Thursday, April 18, and Thursday, May 2, both at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Grant applications are due May 3, and winners will be announced in late May.
