Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Investigative Journalism in Utah
The Grants for Reporters Committed to Uncovering Truths program in Utah is designed to promote transparency, inform the public, and strengthen the role of journalism in a democratic society. The priority outcomes for this grant reflect the unique needs and challenges of Utah's media landscape. The Utah State Legislature's transparency efforts, for instance, have created a fertile ground for investigative journalism. Reporters can build upon the state's existing open records laws and online portals to uncover critical stories that impact Utahns.
Fostering Investigative Reporting on Utah's Unique Demographics and Geography
Utah's distinct demographic features, such as its high percentage of residents living in rural areas and its growing Hispanic population, present opportunities for investigative reporting that can inform and engage the public. The grant prioritizes projects that shed light on issues affecting these communities, such as access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. For example, investigative reporting on the healthcare disparities in Utah's frontier counties could lead to improved health outcomes for residents in these areas. The state's natural resources, including its rich mining history and environmental concerns, are another area of focus for investigative journalism.
Supporting Investigative Journalism that Informs Utah's Economic Development
The Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development plays a crucial role in promoting the state's economic growth. Investigative reporting that examines the impact of economic development initiatives, such as the creation of new jobs and infrastructure projects, can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these efforts. Additionally, reporting on issues related to Utah's thriving tech industry, such as data privacy and cybersecurity, can inform policymakers and the public about the implications of these emerging trends. By supporting investigative journalism that informs economic development, this grant can help ensure that Utah's growth is sustainable and equitable.
The Utah Arts Council also provides various grants for arts and cultural projects, which sometimes intersect with journalistic investigations into cultural and historical preservation. While this grant is focused on investigative journalism, understanding the broader cultural context in Utah can enrich the reporting and provide a more nuanced view of the issues being investigated.
Measuring Success in Utah's Investigative Journalism Landscape
To measure the success of this grant, the funder will track the impact of the investigative reporting projects supported by the grant. This may include metrics such as the number of stories published, the reach and engagement of the reporting, and the policy changes or public discourse generated by the investigations. By focusing on these outcomes, the grant can help ensure that investigative journalism in Utah is effective in promoting transparency and informing the public.

The timeline for the application process varies, but applicants can usually expect to hear back within a few weeks to a few months after submitting their proposal.
