The Scripps Howard
Foundation is taking applications for its 12-month fellowship program, offered
in conjunction with the Scripps News Washington Bureau/Newsy and ProPublica.
The program, which
starts in June 2018, is a paid opportunity for postgraduates looking to kick
start their journalism career. Your degree does not have to be in journalism to
be considered. We are looking for people with a demonstrated passion and
commitment to journalism, and a desire to become a future leader in the
industry.
Today's fellows will be tomorrow's journalism
leaders
We all know the
Internet has changed journalism. And it’s not just the business models. It has
also helped spawn new ways of reporting and
new forms of storytelling.
For journalism to flourish, the leaders of tomorrow’s newsrooms will need to
understand and take advantage of the new ways of doing it all. That means data,
crowdsourcing, multimedia, and no doubt forms we haven’t yet landed on. Nobody
can be an expert in it all. But deep exposure to the tools is crucial. As are
the management skills to meld them all together.
That’s why we’ve created the Scripps Howard Fellowship Program.
It’s an intensive, 12-month program with the goal of developing a diverse pool
of talented, young journalists who will have the foundational skills for future
leadership. Starting in June, fellows will work at either Scripps News
Washington Bureau/Newsy or ProPublica, focusing on developing expertise in one
specialty, while being exposed to all the components of the newsroom.
Here are the tracks you can choose to apply
in:
- Investigative Reporting (offered both at ProPublica and Scripps/Newsy)
- Engagement Reporting (at ProPublica)
- Data Reporting (at ProPublica)
- Multimedia storytelling (at Scripps/Newsy and ProPublica)
- Newsroom 360
