Leave a Comment

Deadline: 23 November 2023

The Gabo Foundation is accepting applications for the 5th edition of the Fund for Research and New Narratives on Drugs (FINND) to support the research and publication of journalistic works that address, in an innovative way, the challenges, challenges and opportunities related to drug policies in Latin America.

Topics

  • Proposals that fall within the following thematic lines will be prioritized:
    • Public health: risk and harm reduction, criminalization and regulation, problematic drug use and treatments, impacts and results of legislation on users of criminalized psychoactive substances.
    • Human Rights: impacts of the war on drugs on minorities, urban drug markets (microtrafficking), prisons, repression and militarization, governance and narcopolitics, race and migration.
    • Gender: vulnerability and stigmatization, victimization, poverty and marginalization, empowerment and agency.
    • Environment: effects of the war on drugs on ecosystems, deforestation, pollution and environmental conflicts, in addition to crops declared illicit, producers, rural development, armed actors, illegal economies and eradication.
    • War on drugs: impact on health, human development, territorial sovereignty, natural resources, impact of state or private violence on education, health, and/or human development. In turn, proposals related to violence and inequalities in marginalized communities, impacts on indigenous communities, peasant or racialized communities and militarization.
    • Innovation and public policy solutions on the drug phenomenon: related, for example, to the coverage of topics such as cannabis regulation, alternative uses of coca leaf, supervised consumption rooms, among others.

Categories

  • Your proposal can fall into the following categories:
    • Local journalism: applies to journalistic proposals of departmental, provincial or hyperlocal scope and community or regional media. The nominated project must focus on dynamics that affect the regions in which journalists live and/or work, and projects outside capital cities will be prioritized, which include a solutions journalism approach.
    • New formats: in reference to formats that help communicate the results of journalistic investigation in an innovative way. For example: multimedia documentaries, video editorials, journalistic satire, ‘scrollytelling’ and other non-traditional journalistic narratives.
    • Collaborative and transnational journalism: projects that promote collaborative journalism will be positively valued, especially those that contemplate alliances between journalists working from capital cities and local reporters and researchers, or members of community or regional media, as well as communication groups.
    • Investigative journalism: the application must contain a hypothesis and research proposal, and a plan to develop in the following formats: text, sound journalism (radio, podcast), video and image.

Benefits

  • This edition contemplates the delivery of incentives, as follows: up to 14 scholarships of between 3,500 and 5,000 dollars for people who work as ‘freelancer’ journalists or linked to the media, who develop their projects in one of the countries prioritized by the FINND.
  • If you are one of the people or teams selected as a scholarship recipient of this fund, you will receive the following benefits:
    • Place to participate in a virtual workshop by the Gabo Foundation about new narratives about drugs.
    • An economic stimulus that will be used for the research and publication of your project.
    • Access to journalistic mentoring during the three months that your project lasts. A mentor will be assigned to you, according to the thematic line or format of your project.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Journalists who reside or carry out their investigations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic and Uruguay can apply for this fund.
  • FINND does not support journalistic proposals based on traditional narratives about drugs, that is, coverage focused, for example, on criminal historiography and profiles of drug traffickers. In general, applications that reproduce stereotypes and commonplaces about the production, distribution and consumption of drugs are not taken into account.

Selection Criteria

  • The criteria that will be taken into account for the evaluation of the proposals are:
    • Feasibility of the proposal: work plan achievable in three months (research, production, editing and publication).
    • Innovation in the proposed narrative: contribution to the development of new types of content, formats, languages ​​and forms of relationship with the audience.
    • Originality of the topic: the application of a narrative free of stereotypes in the coverage of drug issues.
    • Relevance: depth with which it would be addressed and its relationship with at least one of the categories and topics proposed in the terms of the Fund for Research and New Narratives on Drugs.
    • Project dissemination plan: dissemination strategy, target audience, reach on social networks and/or alliances with other media to enhance the impact of the content.
