Thursday, January 29, 2009
What do the three winning women-led projects get? They each receive one-time funding of $10,000 to help them launch their new venture. Last year’s contest attracted nearly 200 innovative proposals. The three winners were:
Echo, a system of public storytelling installations in Atlanta. Led by Lila King and Karyn Lu, movers behind CNN’s user-generated site iReport.com.
Latina Voices, a news site for and by Latinas. Led by Teresa Puente, a journalism professor at Columbia College Chicago and member of the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board.
Northwest Navy News, a networking site for Puget Sound’s military community. Led by Elaine Helm Norton, new media editor at The Daily Herald in Everett, Wash., and a former military beat reporter.
The deadline is March 31, 2009. For more information on guidelines, FAQs, etc:

Journalist Ruben Salazar Honored with Postage Stamp
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
A U.S. postal stamp honoring Latino journalist Ruben Salazar, a Mexican-American news reporter killed by police on August 29, 1970, is to be officially issued on April 22. Salazar, who was born in 1928 and wrote for the L.A. Times and served as news director for KMEX in Los Angeles, was killed during the National Chicano Moratorium March against the Vietnam War in East Los Angeles, CA. Stamps honoring four other journalists – Martha Gellhorn, John Hersey, George Polk and Eric Sevareid are also going to be issued the same day. This is the first stamp honoring a Latino journalist ever issued.
