This program is geared towards college students and recent college graduates who are interested in working at the intersection of news, media, and technology.
With protests occurring around the U.S. due to police brutality and racial injustice, a diverse newsroom is even more essential to produce balanced, comprehensive and representative news coverage.
All fellows, who will be able to work remotely, will be selected by nine host newsrooms:
Eugene Weekly
Houston Press
Isthmus
al Día en America
La Noticia
Vida Newspaper
the Washington Informer
the Omaha Star
the NNPA Newsroom
Fellows will have the opportunity to work on editorial, revenue, and technology projects at the host publications.
Fellows will be given a $1,000 travel payment and a $5,000 stipend for the 10-12 week program.
The application deadline is August 1, 2020 at midnight pacific time.
