BIRN is offering grants for three journalists to cover property rights and housing stories, as well as mentoring by experienced editors.
The call is held as part of the project ‘Exposing Corruption through Investigative Reporting’, financed by the National Endowment for Democracy.
The project’s aim is to strengthen journalistic reporting on corruption in the country through cooperation with civil society, in order to contribute to a more informed citizenry that is engaged in the democratic process.
Three journalists will be awarded grants to cover their expenses while conducting investigations and writing their stories on housing and property rights.
The journalists will have around three months to dig deeper and research their ideas, and will also have the opportunity to work with experienced editors as mentors to guide them through the process of writing in accordance with BIRN standards.
The call only applies to journalists from Albania and closes on March 10th.
