For example, stories could be produced tracing, exposing and analyzing disinformation, reporting on the refugee crisis caused by the Ukraine-Russia War, or the economic fallout of sanctions globally, or looking at the consequences of the war on the global food supply.

Applicants should explain why the story is important, who would produce the story (cross-border collaborations are especially encouraged), who is the target audience for the story, how it will be disseminated, the risks involved in the story and how they will be mitigated.

Stories can be published in any language. We strongly encourage exiled media to apply.
