The Bill Lane Center for the American West has been supporting journalism about the West and its environment for a decade or more.

Their Western Journalism and Media Fellowships provide opportunities for journalists working in all kinds of media — newspapers, magazines, radio, television, online, multimedia, video, film, data visualization and mapping, and books.

They offer a single media fellowship with a $7,500 stipend for three months’ work. Half of the grant is dispensed when the fellow is selected and the other half upon publication of the story. The award will fund a journalist illuminating crucial issues about the region.
