Grant Overview
Northwest Territories faces unique challenges in reporting on resource development due to its vast geography and sparse population. With 33 communities spread across 519,734 square miles, journalists often struggle to access remote areas, resulting in limited coverage of critical issues. This funding supports investigative projects that examine the impact of resource development on local communities, with a focus on the territory's 11 official languages. Unlike neighboring Nunavut, Northwest Territories has a more established mining industry, requiring specialized reporting on complex economic and environmental trade-offs. The region's Indigenous peoples, comprising 50.7% of the population, are particularly affected by these developments. Journalists must navigate the territory's rugged terrain and limited transportation infrastructure to report on these stories. Funding will assist with travel, research, and data collection, enabling comprehensive reporting on the territory's resource development. Who Should Apply in Northwest Territories? Eligible applicants include journalists, independent media professionals, and qualifying organizations with a demonstrated understanding of the territory's unique cultural and geographic context. Applications must show a clear plan for reporting on resource development and its community impacts. Northwest Territories' Rural Reporting Landscape: The territory's rural communities are often underserved by traditional media outlets, creating a need for innovative reporting approaches. Funding will support projects that leverage local partnerships and new technologies to reach these areas. By supporting investigative journalism in Northwest Territories, this grant aims to promote more informed public discourse on resource development and its effects on local communities.
