Without them, the majority of the public would be unaware of what is going on in the world around them. True news reporters give their audience objective and unbiased information and allow them to do the interpreting themselves. This is important, because it gives everyone access to the facts regardless of their societal and financial status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> has a number of grants specifically for journalists.

The specific amendment calls for freedom of the press, along with freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and petition. The press keeps the government in check and ensures it does not have total control, leading to mass propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George Washington expressed similar concerns of a life with no press when he was in power. &#8220;If&nbsp;freedom of&nbsp;speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter,&#8221; he said. Thomas Jefferson also shared in this notion, claiming that &#8220;the only security of all is in a free press.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/charleskochinstitute.org\/stories\/importance-of-a-free-press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charles Koch Institute<\/a>, the United States is\u00a0ranked only 45th\u00a0out of 180 countries\u00a0in a report on media freedom. And since the rise of internet and social media, the profession has taken a major hit. The Pew Research Center notes that U.S. newsroom employment has fallen 26 percent since 2008. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these reasons, it is imperative to support young journalists, along with those that have been in the field for some time. Below, are nine grants that are currently available on GrantWatch for journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nine Grants for Professional Journalists <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fellowships to <a href=\"https:\/\/grantwatch.com\/grant\/174464\/fellowships-to-usa-journalists-for-research-and-reporting-on-economic-political-and-social-issues.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. journalists<\/a> to support research and reporting on current issues.
