Summary
Grant Overview
New Hampshire Infrastructure Journalism Initiative
Who Should Apply in New Hampshire
Journalists in New Hampshire are uniquely positioned to address the state's significant infrastructure challenges, particularly in transportation and utilities. Eligible applicants include independent journalists, newsrooms, and media organizations focused on reporting issues pertaining to infrastructure investments and improvements. Given New Hampshire’s aging infrastructure and growing population, increased media exploration of these topics is both timely and essential.
Application Requirements and Local Realities
Applicants must demonstrate previous experience in investigative reporting and a commitment to addressing local infrastructure challenges. Reports should be backed by data and engage with community stakeholders. Given New Hampshire’s diverse demographic landscape, from bustling urban centers like Manchester to the rural expanses of Coos County, applicants will need to tailor their stories to reflect these varied circumstances.
Fit Assessment for the New Hampshire Context
In New Hampshire, the lack of comprehensive reporting about infrastructure issues leads to gaps in public awareness and policy discussions. By funding journalists who can articulate the intersections between infrastructure investments and their impacts on local communities, this initiative aims to elevate the discourse surrounding public works and utilities. With state-specific challenges including deteriorating roads and limited broadband access in rural areas, this funding opportunity seeks to empower journalists to engage with these pressing topics meaningfully.
By ensuring informed reporting on infrastructure challenges, New Hampshire hopes to cultivate an engaged public that can participate in broader discussions about necessary reforms and investments, ultimately paving the way for a more robust infrastructure future.
