The Dispatch
Grant for Community Journalism
A New Journalism Fund
The Dispatch Grant is in the works and is slated specifically for Local/Community Journalists throughout Indiana to cover the real, out-of-pocket costs of accountability in reporting required to incubate and create news stories.
The number of Community Journalists nationwide has diminished radically over the last decade, as have resources for these community witnesses. As 'middle space' news has become increasingly sensationalized and biased based on algorithmic metrics, on-the-ground reporting has never been more important.
Grants of $500 will be awarded via application. Check back for application opening date.

Good News from The Hill
March 2027: Nasim Ahmadpour
Persian playwright and filmmaker, Nasim Ahmadpour, was scheduled to be playwright-in-residence and to debut the 3rd installation in her series of works 'Tables Project,' at Constellation Playhouse in March of this year, as well as participate in our debut salon, 'Wise Panic.' Her flight to Bloomington was dated 3 days after the war started, however. She's been unable to travel to the U.S. until now.
​
This visionary has been awarded a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in Autumn 2027, and is scheduled (hopefully) to arrive here on March 1st for a 2-month residency and staging of her profoundly important and internationally acclaimed work in Spring of 2027 in co-production with Bloomington's Resilience Theatre Company. Watch for details!
Alumni Update: Freda Love Smith
Journalist, lecturer, and non-fiction author, Freda Love Smith, was in residence in 2024 researching and working on a biography focused on Angela DeAngelis (Atwood) - a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, a militant revolutionary group that was responsible for the infamous1974 kidnapping of the newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. Atwood died in a standoff between the SLA and Federal agents at the young age of 24, but during her time as a theatre student at IU Bloomington, she spent her hours in the company of the likes of Kevin Kline and Jane Pauley, playing in a jug band, living the collegiate life. After her stay in Bloomington, she headed west to California and began moving in radical circles, inevitably becoming a casualty of conflicting factions and ideologies.
​
The book has evolved into something even larger in scope, and a publishing deal looks to be in the works. We'll keep you posted in our newsletter as details emerge!
