LEDE

The LEDE Fellowship connects and supports journalism entrepreneurs with the goal of accelerating the spread of solutions journalism and creating meaningful impact. We look for projects that:

• (L)everage the network: Fellows familiarize themselves with and seek out the expertise and resources of journalists, community members and others whose work is relevant to their project.
• (E)ngage the community: Fellows connect with, support and/or celebrate other journalists doing solutions journalism as well as engage with the community that the journalism informs.
• (D)isseminate the knowledge: Projects produce (or catalyze the production of) more solutions journalism. Projects also are designed to create insights for fellow journalists, newsrooms and other solutions journalism practitioners in our broader network.
• (E)levate what — or who — is missing: Successful projects help tell the whole story about what’s working by amplifying marginalized voices and telling stories that problem-focused reporting misses.
