J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism and the McCormick
Foundation are seeking to fund four women-led projects that will rock the
world of journalism.
We will fund individuals who have original ideas to create new Web sites,
mobile news services or other entrepreneurial initiatives that offer
interactive opportunities to engage, inspire and improve news and
information in a geographic community or a community of interest.

What is your juicy idea? What’s been stirring in your mind? What work do
you feel compelled to do? How can you improve or redefine journalism? What
new project would give people the information they need to make decisions
or help make the world a better place? Whose voice isn’t being heard?

The McCormick New Media Women Entrepreneurs program will give one-time
funding of $12,000 to women who have the vision, skills and experience to
launch a new venture. These can be solo ideas or team projects spearheaded
by women.

Eligibility:

Funding is available for start-ups only.

1. Projects must launch (at least a live beta) within 10 months.
2. Projects must have a plan for continuing after initial funding has ended.
3. Projects must have journalistic value.
4. Projects may be independent or housed within traditional media.
5. Personal blogs or one-time documentaries will not be funded.
6. Awardees will receive funding through a subcontract if they are an
individual or affiliated with a business; and through a grant if they are
affiliated with a non-profit institution.

Strong applicants would:

1. Provide information to help people live their lives or make informed
civic choices.
2. Adhere to principles of accuracy, truth and fairness.
3. Advance women in the news industry.
4. Show promise of being replicable or scalable.

Recipients must agree to post brief weekly blog updates to the
www.newmediawomen.org Web site sharing their process and experience during
the development stage. Recipients agree to participate and share lessons
learned at a conference of new media women entrepreneurs in Spring 2011.
