In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, YouTube presents Project: Report, a journalism contest (made possible by Sony VAIO & Intel) intended for non-professional, aspiring journalists to tell stories not covered by traditional media outlets that might not otherwise be told. In each of the two rounds of Project: Report, reporters will be given an assignment to complete. Pulitzer will select ten (10) Semi-Finalits after Round 1. These Semi-Finalists will receive technology prizes from Sony VAIO & Intel. From there, the ten (10) Semi-Finalists will compete for five (5) grand prize packages which include a $10,000 journalism fellowship from the Pulitzer Center to report on story outside their home country. Check out all the details of Project: Report at http://www.youtube.com/projectreport +++ ASSIGNMENT for Round 1: * Document a single day in the life of a compelling person that you think the world should know about and showcase how that person is making a positive impact in her/her community. * Must be 3 minutes or less and submitted in English, or with English subtitles. * Submission Deadline for Round 1 is 11:59 PM on Sunday February 28.
SKYNEWS has premiered the Haiti benefit song and video above. The performers include Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Susan Boyle, Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, and Leoni Lewis. R.E.M. has relinquished all royalty rights for the song, so they won’t be taking a penny.
