The Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is offering reporting grants to journalists in Kenya to support the production of in-depth stories on the impacts of climate change. In East Africa, news about the impacts of climate change is scarce, and media houses do not often have the capacity to invest financial, human, and even technological resources to generate the high-quality content that would fill the information vacuum. To help journalists in the region to unearth these issues, highlight solutions and point out the key obstacles to climate action, Internews’ Earth Journalism Network is offering grants to ~10 journalists in Kenya to report on matters related to climate change.
