Hostwriter is a global collaboration network for journalists, journalistic bloggers, journalism students and documentary filmmakers. This award aims at journalists, who either don’t have the funds to finance the costs for their story, yet, or journalism students and recent graduates, who have excellent ideas, but are inexperienced in getting a story commissioned by a publication. With the hostwriter search engine you can find colleagues who share your research interests and your journalistic passion.
