Moment launched the Daniel Pearl Investigative Journalism Initiative in 2010 in honor of the 38-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter slain by terrorists in 2002 to encourage young journalists to write in-depth stories about a modern manifestation of anti-Semitism or another deeply ingrained prejudice. With the help of our prestigious panel of journalists, Moment selects and mentors the writer, providing her or him with journalistic as well as financial support.
The edited stories will be published in Moment, perhaps in conjunction with another media outlet.

The DPIJI project director is Mary Hadar.
