Newswise Awards & Grants Guides
We invite all Newswise participants (as well as non-participating institutions), to raise awareness of your institution's award, fellowship and grant opportunities for journalists by contributing your listings to the Newswise Guide to Journalism Awards or to the Newswise Guide to Journalism Grants and Fellowships. Both guides are updated monthly, and constitute an extremely popular resource for journalists and media professionals.
In this report we take a look at the traffic these guides have generated over the past five months, and explore the high-profile that these guides have achieved in the listings of three major internet search engines: Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
