The Detroit Journalism Engagement Fund will support efforts to better inform communities on issues of civic concern through innovations in reporting and community engagement. The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, on behalf of its partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Ford Foundation, will support media outlets and their community partners in the discovery of ideas that advance the field of journalism locally in tangible, concrete ways — ways that encourage collaborations that spark innovation, experimentation and learning. Grant applications will be accepted through Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2017. Read more about the initiative: http://bit.ly/2xGbUYv
