OSF offers partnership program for journalists, artists on investigative reporting [South Africa]

Journalists from national, regional or local media in small towns and creative artists are invited to collaborate to find different ways to tell stories about corruption.

The Open Society Foundation’s Program on Independent Journalism will support partnerships between journalists and artists to create an investigative story in a new, captivating and engaging format.   

Selected applicants will attend a two-day workshop where journalists and artists will work together. The workshop will take place late November in  Johannesburg or Cape Town.

The participating teams will also have the opportunity to pitch for a grant of up to US$25,000 to produce and distribute their project ahead of the 2019 elections in South Africa.   

Journalists should have published a story that exposed corruption and its impact on society.

The deadline is Oct. 31.
