As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, the demand for accountable and informative journalism grows. Recognizing this, Tarbell Grants has introduced awards ranging from $1,000 to $15,000 for journalists dedicated to reporting on artificial intelligence and its wide-reaching impacts. These grants aim to empower established journalists, especially those with an investigative background, to pursue critical stories that address the positive and potential harms of frontier AI models.
Tarbell Grants are seeking pitches for original reporting on issues such as the real-world harms of AI technologies, the operations of major AI companies, and the lobbying efforts shaping global AI policies. Areas of interest include stories on sensitive topics like cybersecurity, racial bias, and biosecurity threats tied to AI, as well as insights into AI policy developments across the US, EU, and China.
The program encourages applications from freelance and staff journalists who have a strong background in technology or investigative reporting. Tarbell Grants also welcome applications for underreported stories and pitches supported by letters of interest from established publications.
With a mission to inspire stories that will impact readers and influence decision-makers, Tarbell Grants seeks to make a difference in AI accountability. The organization urges journalists to apply, even if they don’t meet all criteria, as long as they have strong story ideas that align with the grant’s vision.
