List launches January

The open call

In January, Project C will publish the Project C 100, a list of the creator journalists people should know right now. Last year we published our first list, the Top 50. This year we’re going bigger, and we want your help finding the people we’d otherwise miss.

Eligibility

Who we’re looking for

Anyone building an audience as a trusted source of news and information. That includes reporters who left newsrooms to go independent. It also includes experts, practitioners, academics and people reporting on their own communities from lived experience.

It doesn’t matter where they publish. TikTok, YouTube, a newsletter, a podcast, Instagram, a WhatsApp channel, a print zine. All of it counts. Free work counts as much as paid. And it’s open to creators anywhere in the world.

Yes, you can nominate yourself. And you can nominate as many people as you like, one form per person.

Selection

How we choose

We look at impact first. Who’s reaching people and changing how they think? That’s about the quality of the audience, not the follower count.

Then innovation. Who’s doing journalism in a way a newsroom wouldn’t, or couldn’t?

This isn’t a popularity contest. Nominations help us find people we’d otherwise miss, but they aren’t votes. We’re also looking at the data and asking people who know these beats to send us names. The final list isn’t ranked.
