Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Nevada's Indigenous Journalists
The funding for Indigenous journalists in Nevada is aimed at supporting high-quality reporting on violence that targets members of Indigenous nations. To achieve this goal, the grant prioritizes specific outcomes that align with the needs of Nevada's Indigenous communities. The Nevada Indian Commission, a state agency, plays a crucial role in identifying these needs and informing the grant's priorities.
One of the primary outcomes of this grant is to increase the representation of Indigenous voices in the media, particularly in rural areas such as Nevada's frontier counties. By supporting Indigenous journalists, the grant aims to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of reporting on issues affecting Indigenous communities, including violence and social justice. The grant's focus on Indigenous journalists also helps to build capacity within these communities, enabling them to tell their own stories and share their perspectives with a broader audience.
Measuring Success in Nevada
To measure the success of this grant, the funder will track several key outcomes, including the number of reporting projects supported, the reach and engagement of published stories, and the impact of these stories on policy or public discourse. The grant will also prioritize projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the historical and cultural context of violence against Indigenous peoples in Nevada, including the legacy of colonization and forced assimilation. For example, the Walker River Paiute Tribe and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe are among the many Indigenous nations in Nevada that have experienced historical trauma and continue to face contemporary challenges.
In terms of specific metrics, the funder will track the number of grants awarded to Indigenous journalists in Nevada, as well as the number of stories published and the audience engagement they receive. The funder will also assess the impact of the grant on the broader media landscape in Nevada, including the extent to which it helps to promote more nuanced and accurate reporting on Indigenous issues. Applicants can expect a thorough review process, with decisions made on a rolling basis, and grant awards ranging from $1,000 to $750,000.
