I just saw this MIT project called Knight Science Journalism Tracker, which looks quite polished. Unfortunately the only science writing they seem to know about is on Grist and then the usual media outlets. I guess actual scientists doing the writing slips under the radar. But it's fun to take a look at regardless of their surface-level insight into the science journalism world. When you have foundation funding, you don't have to dig as hard. And no, we can't get foundation money. The Knight foundation requires that you be government ( because, you know, governments need money ) or a charity. Since we work for free we aren't either of those and therefore disqualified. It's pretty funny that they only want to fund journalists working for the government or schools or charities though.
