DEADLINE: Tarbell Center for AI Journalism

Event Date: 
July 12, 2026

As artificial intelligence grows more influential, the companies building it and the policymakers regulating it warrant the kind of scrutiny that journalism exists to provide. 

Tarbell offers grants of $1,000–$20,000 to support original reporting on AI published in established outlets, whether from freelancers or staff. 

This round, Tarbell is seeking applications across six focus areas:

  • Accountability reporting on frontier AI companies
  • AI policy and politics
  • AI explainers and analysis
  • AI in government and militaries
  • AI labor impacts
  • AI developments in China

Learn more and apply. Applications for this round close July 12.
