This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

FIU’s International Media Center works to strengthen professional news media in Latin America. It has trained more than 8,000 Latin American journalists in 14 countries since 1988. This grant will support a daylong roundtable among Cuban-American community members, Cuba experts and 10 independent Cuban journalists in exile. They will discuss the future of media in Cuba and assess what type of training independent journalists in Cuba should receive and whether the journalists working for state media could be trained for a new role in a post-Castro Cuba. In addition, Spanish-speaking FIU journalism students will participate in a student reporting project, interviewing at least 30 recently arrived Cubans about how they got their news in Cuba and what kind of news they think would fit the needs of Cubans. |
