Media: Monetary Help in Covering Coronavirus19

From Facebook, which is awarding grants:

"The Facebook Journalism Project (FJP), the Lenfest Institute for Journalism and the Local Media Association (LMA) are announcing the first round of North American local newsrooms receiving FJP Community Network grants to support their coronavirus news coverage. A complete list of winners will be announced in early April.

In this first round, 50 local newsrooms across the US and Canada are receiving $5,000 USD grants to help cover unexpected costs associated with covering the crisis in their communities. The grants will help fulfill needs such as increasing frequency of publishing, combating misinformation and serving vulnerable and at-risk groups."

     None of the 50 listed are in Alabama. In fact the closest media receiving grants in the first round are in the Carolinas and Texas. All but two---radio stations--- appear to be print publications.
