YouTube and the Pulitzer Center announce first winner of Project:Report

YouTube, the leading online video community that allows people to discover, watch and share originally created videos, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting Tuesday announced the winner of Project: Report. Hundreds of people from around the world entered the first of its kind program that called on aspiring journalists to produce short, high quality video pieces focused on stories that are not typically covered by the traditional media. Project: Report was made possible by Sony VAIO and Intel. After three rounds of competition, the YouTube Community voted on the five finalists and, together with a panel of journalists from the Pulitzer Center, chose Arturo Perez, Jr. of San Francisco, California as the grand prize winner. Perez will receive a USD 10,000 grant to travel abroad and work with the Pulitzer Center on a story of global importance. Perez also received camera and video editing equipment from Sony & Intel throughout the program.
