The Google News Initiative has set up an Emergency Journalism Aid Fund
 to provide emergency assistance to thousands of small, medium and local news reporters worldwide.

Funding is open to news organizations that produce original news for 
local communities during a crisis, and ranges from tiny thousands of dollars 
to small hyper-local newsrooms to tens of thousands of larger newsrooms, varying
 by region.

Starting Tuesday, April 14, publishers everywhere can apply for funding.

At the end of the process, we’ll announce who has received funding and how publishers are spending the money,” says Richard Gingras, VP, News, Google.
