The Detroit Journal has been awarded $1,000, becoming the first Detroit winner of a new Awesome grant launched by the Awesome News Task Force Detroit which awards a grant to an applicant with a community media project.
The Awesome Foundation, which provides some oversight and structure for the different chapters, started with one group in Boston, where trustees pledged $100 a month to fund projects out-of-pocket.

A Gilesgate-based shop and community facility, Hexham’s Core Music, launches a separate workshop where up to six people will be trained how to repair guitars and make ukuleles.
