J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism invites U.S. nonprofit groups and education organizations to apply for funding to launch new community news ventures and to cooperate with J-Lab in spotlighting best practices and lessons learned.
Eligible to apply for funding under the New Voices project are 501(c)3 organizations and education institutions, including civic groups, community organizations, middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities.
Funding is available for start-up news initiatives only. Ongoing efforts are not eligible to apply unless they are proposing a new venture.
Funding Guidelines
Successful applicants will:
* Benefit a defined geographic or special-interest community.
* Foster an open exchange of journalistically sound ideas, information, news and opinion in those communities.
Projects will be selected on:
* The level of communications innovation
* Plans for effectively serving an identified community with fact-based news, information and dialogue.
* Usefulness as a prototype for others.
* Realistic prospects for sustaining the project after New Voices funding as ended.
Timeline and Funding
Under the New Voices project, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, J-Lab will select 10 projects a year for two years. Each project may receive as much as $17,000.
The funding would come in three tiers:
Year One, 2005 -- $12,000 is available in start-up funding.
* $6,000 will be released upon the return of signed grant documents.
* Another $6,000 will be available after a satisfactory three-month progress report is made.
Year Two, 2006 -- Another $5,000 will be considered for Year One grantees that:
* Successfully launch their projects in Year One.
* Supply regular, quarterly progress reports.
* Can match the $5,000 with other revenue through funders, donors, subscribers and/or e-commerce as outlined in a Year Two project plan.
Eligible expenses:
* Grant funds may be used for equipment, software, rent, phones, training, marketing, production, stipends, freelance payments and contracted services.
* Grants may not be used to cover indirect or overhead costs.
Reporting Requirements:
* Applicants must launch their proposed initiative within 10 months of receiving funding. In addition to providing quarterly updates, they must be willing to share widely their progress and lessons learned. Updates from the reports will be posted on www.J-NewVoices.org. A final report is required at the end of Year Two.
New Voices grants are intended as one-time-only, start-up grants; applicants are not eligible for future New Voices or Knight Foundation funding for their community news initiatives. Applicants’ plans for sustaining their initiatives will be a key factor in selecting grantees.
Eligibility
* Funding is available for start-up news initiatives only. Ongoing efforts are not eligible to apply unless they are proposing a new venture.
* Funding may be used only for news and information projects. Advocacy and government projects are not eligible.
* Funding is available for print or electronic news initiatives, including online, cable, broadcast, narrowcast, satellite and mobile efforts.
* Collaborative ventures are eligible as long as the funded party is a nonprofit or education institution.
* Religious organizations may receive grants for non-sectarian purposes only. Proposals to proselytize or to promote the tenets of a particular religious belief will not be considered.
* Funded applicants must have plans to launch their initiative within 10 months of receiving funding.
* Applicants must specificallyoutline a realistic vision for sustaining the project after start-up funding is spent.
* Only projects based in the United States may apply.
* Projects using a language other than English will be permitted as long as translated samples of the project are made available monthly for educational purposes and all reports are made in English.
To apply, submit all of the following:
* Fill out the Project Summary available online.
* Fill out the Funding Application available online.
* Attach a budget showing how you propose to spend the grant money.
* Provide a letter from the IRS, documenting your 501(c)3 status.
* Include letters of support from any proposed partners.

How's it going? Our Web zine is moving along at a great pace--we have about 25 (a small army!) of volunteers working on all aspects of it, and hope to have it fully functional and launched by April 4. If you want to bookmark it, the url will be www.speakeasymag.com.
I'm actually writing to ask you a favor... although for the most part things are going pretty smoothly, we are having a bit of a roadblock as far as what to do in terms of office style and policy. How do your submissions work? Is there a traditional newsroom hierarchy where you go through editors? Who actually updates the content? Also, what are your rules in terms of ... well ... everything?
Thanks again for all your help.
Best,
Cara McCoy

On Our Minds
e-mail from Jen:
Hey Katie!
What's up? Here's some COLUMNS action...
- Description: Reflections on happenings, previous stories, etc. by Columns staff, editors and guest columnists. Columns can be humorous, serious, or action-inspiring.
- Guidelines for submission: A proofread column must be submitted to ME via email as a Word document four days before desired date of posting. (I will submit it to you and Cara at least two days before date of posting for editing, etc.)
- Style: Pretty loose yet grammatically correct. Swearing is permitted but will be addressed if it gets out of hand.
- Ethical issues: Column cannot be offensive toward any group, be it girls/gays/Asians/whatnot. A disclaimer may be necessary if a columnist is borderline offensive.
- Columns is a place where the staff can express its opinions, but we don't want it to be a free-for-all or a damper on our credibility as a Web site.
- I would like to update daily - I believe we will have columnists including one guest columnist per week to do this (knock on wood!).
The first week of columns (LAUNCH WEEK) is going to contain a few perspectives on Spring Break (reflections on Spring Break traditions, "What I Did On My Spring Break," etc.) - if this is lame, let me know!
I think Columns is pretty self-explanatory so I didn't come up with any specific questions that would designate an article into this section. If that's more the format that you were looking for, I can have those by our editors' meeting later this week.
I shall see you tomorrow evening! Hope your V-Day was lovely!

- Columns is a place where the staff can express its opinions, but we don't want it to be a free-for-all or a damper on our credibility as a Web site.
- I would like to update daily - I believe we will have columnists including one guest columnist per week to do this (knock on wood!).
The first week of columns (LAUNCH WEEK) is going to contain a few perspectives on Spring Break (reflections on Spring Break traditions, "What I Did On My Spring Break," etc.) - if this is lame, let me know!
I think Columns is pretty self-explanatory so I didn't come up with any specific questions that would designate an article into this section. If that's more the format that you were looking for, I can have those by our editors' meeting later this week.
I shall see you tomorrow evening! Hope your V-Day was lovely!
Jen
