Project: Report - YouTube's First Journalism Contest
Monday, September 8, 2008
Today, in partnership with the
Pulitzer Center
, YouTube presents
Project: Report
(www.youtube.com/projectreport), a journalism contest (made possible by
Sony VAIO
and
Intel
) for non-professional, aspiring journalists to tell stories that might not otherwise be covered by traditional media.
In each of the three rounds of Project: Report, reporters will be given an assignment to complete. Each of these assignments gives you an opportunity to report on the important individuals, issues, and communities in your life that most people do not yet know about.
The assignment for Round 1 is to profile someone in your community, in three minutes or less, highlighting a story you think deserves to be heard by a wide audience. Submit your video entry for Round 1 by midnight EST on Sunday October 5, and a panel of journalists from the Pulitzer Center will narrow the field to 10 semi-finalists. The assignment for Round 2 will then be announced, and the judging for this round will be opened up to the YouTube community to determine the five finalists who will move onto the third and last assignment. Winners of each round will receive technology prizes from Sony VAIO and Intel, and the grand prize winner will be granted a $10,000 journalism fellowship with the Pulitzer Center to report on a story outside of their home country.
Even if you did not participate in or advance past Round 1, you may still complete the assignments for Rounds 2 and 3, though you will not be eligible for the grand prize. With
Project: Report
, YouTube and the Pulitzer Center hope to highlight as many of your stories as possible and draw attention to important topics that have been under-reported, misreported, or not reported at all.
So, it's time to pick up that video camera, take on this assignment, and start reporting your stories to the world.
Yours,
Olivia M.
