New Media Women Entrepreneurs Initiative to Fund 
Journalism Start-Ups

Deadline: May 1, 2008

J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism ( 
http://j-lab.org ) is seeking to fund three women-led 
start-ups that will generate new ideas in the world of 
news and information and model a spirit of journalistic 
entrepreneurship.

Funded by the McCormick Tribune Foundation ( 
http://mccormicktribune.org ), the New Media Women 
Entrepreneurs initiative will provide $10,000 in 
funding to each of the three winners to launch their 
ideas and blog about the process over the next year. 
The funding is part of a unique initiative to address 
issues of opportunity and innovation, recruitment, and 
retention for women in journalism.

The initiative will fund and reward new Web sites, 
mobile news services, or other ideas that offer 
interactive opportunities to engage, inspire, and 
improve news and information locally, nationally, or 
among a community of interest. These can be solo ideas 
or team projects headed by women.

Funding guidelines and further information are 
available at the program's Web site.
