Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Hawaii Journalism Travel Grants
The Journalism Travel Grants program, funded by a Banking Institution, aims to support journalists in covering under-told stories about ways to make cities and their metro regions work better for all their people. For Hawaii, this grant presents an opportunity to shed light on the unique challenges and opportunities facing the state's diverse communities. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and other state agencies have identified several areas of focus that align with the grant's objectives, including Native Hawaiian economic development, environmental conservation, and rural community development.
Key Areas of Focus for Hawaii Journalism Travel Grants
Hawaii's distinct geographic and demographic features, including its rural counties and Native Hawaiian population, create a unique context for journalism. Journalists traveling to Hawaii can explore stories that highlight the state's challenges and opportunities, such as the impact of tourism on local communities, the preservation of Native Hawaiian culture, and the state's efforts to address climate change. For instance, a journalist might investigate how the USDA's grants in Hawaii are supporting local agriculture, or how Maui County is addressing the needs of its residents through innovative community development projects.
The priority outcomes for Hawaii Journalism Travel Grants include:
- In-depth reporting on the experiences of Native Hawaiian communities, including their economic, cultural, and environmental challenges
- Exposing the complexities of Hawaii's housing crisis and its impact on local residents, particularly in rural areas
- Highlighting innovative solutions to environmental conservation, such as efforts to protect Hawaii's unique biodiversity
- Investigating the impact of tourism on local communities, including the benefits and drawbacks of the state's reliance on the tourism industry
These outcomes align with the state's goals, as outlined by the OHA and other state agencies, and are supported by various grant programs available to individuals, non-profits, and businesses in Hawaii. For example, the OHA provides grants for Native Hawaiian organizations and individuals, while the USDA offers grants to support local agriculture and rural development.
By focusing on these priority outcomes, journalists can produce high-quality reporting that sheds new light on the complexities of life in Hawaii. The grant's funding of $1,500 will support travel expenses necessary for on-the-ground reporting, enabling journalists to explore the state's diverse communities and economies.
