A recent post by Science Writers directed my attention to some very interesting guides and resources in the field of journalism as well as art/cultural mobility, that is mobility of artists, professionals and journalists in various cultural domains.
As you can see, the post http://www.nasw.org/online-data-journalism-webinar
is about a forthcoming free online course in data journalism (basic understanding of data such as spreadsheets, stats, graphs and how to incorporate data in storytelling) which is due to start in May 2014 and is open to anyone.
Data Driven Journalism is behind the freely available Data Journalism Handbook which can be found here http://datajournalismhandbook.org/1.0/en/index.html
Journalists and (freelance) writers and researchers may also find useful some of the resources shared by the International Journalists Network, such as those on emerging online platforms http://ijnet.org/stories/five-platforms-could-jump-start-your-freelance-career-2014 and social media tools http://ijnet.org/blog/2013s-top-social-media-tools-journalists
A recent online project targeting science journalists in Australia could also benefit writers, researchers and all people interested in science writing. SCIJOURNO is comprised of 6 modules - a mix of video and article-based content packed with useful links incl. case studies, media tools, organizations and relevant online guides: http://scijourno.com.au/
Generally, funding for cultural journalists is not easy to find but recently a guide of funding opportunities in Europe has been compiled by On the Move - an international association aimed at supporting and facilitating mobility of culture professionals and artists: http://on-the-move.org/files/final%20UTA%20guide.pdf
The association has published as well a number of funding guides addressed to the inbound and outbound mobility of artists and culture professionals in
- Europe http://on-the-move.org/files/Guide%20funding%20for%20mobility.pdf
- Asia http://culture360.org/asef-news/mobility/
- Latin America http://on-the-move.org/files/weblinks%20repertory%20-%20FINAL%20-%2021oct%20.pdf
