Applications are open for the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship 2023-2024. The Knight-Wallace Fellowships offer accomplished journalists a unique opportunity: study and collaborative learning at the University of Michigan to deepen knowledge, develop new ideas and address challenges facing the journalism industry.
Journalists who are eager for growth and deeply committed to the future of journalism spend an academic year in Ann Arbor to access the resources of a world-class university and dive into a journalism project. Areas of focus can include, but are not limited to, sharpening professional skills, addressing a challenge facing your newsroom, digging into data and research for a long-term reporting project or developing a journalism venture.
WORTH
Eight-month programme of immersive study away from daily deadlines
Individual journalism projects designed to develop topical depth, gain new skills, address a newsroom challenge or explore a journalism venture
Specialized resources and access to faculty at the University of Michigan
Private seminars with newsroom innovators and world-renowned experts for candid, off-the-record conversations
Workshops to sharpen professional skills and leadership ability
$75,000 stipend distributed monthly from August through April for living expenses (costs for auditing courses, participating in required workshops and fellowship activities, and health insurance paid for by Wallace House)
Spouses and partners invited to participate in fellowship activities and audit university courses as well.
ELIGIBILITY
Qualified applicants must have a minimum of five years of experience and be currently working in some aspect of journalism for a news organization or as an independent journalist.
They are looking for a diverse range of journalists, including reporters, editors, data experts, visual journalists, audio producers, engagement specialists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and organizational change agents.
If you are not a full-time journalist, the majority of your work should be in journalism. They do not consider full-time academics, public relations writers, internal trade writers, lobbyists, public advocates, or those seeking a degree.
If you are a U.S. citizen, apply as a U.S. applicant, even if you work in another country or for a non–U.S. journalism entity. If you are not a U.S. citizen, apply as an international applicant, even if you work in the United States or for an American journalism entity. A Green Card is not the same as citizenship.
DEADLINE: December 15, 2022
