A JSK Fellowship is a life-changing experience. Each year, we select 20 fellows from around the world and bring them together for 10 months at Stanford University, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Immersed in the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of this region, they are inspired to let go of old assumptions and learn new ways of thinking and working.
We select fellows who identify and articulate a specific journalism challenge they want to explore in hopes of identifying potential solutions they will continue to work on beyond their time with us. We expect them to arrive in the program with more questions than answers and we seek people who are eager to experiment and to change course based on what they learn along the way.
JSK Fellows learn from, and collaborate with, each other. Diversity of background, experience and viewpoints is a fundamental value of our program. We enthusiastically include spouses, partners and families in fellowship life.
WORTH
- By the end of the program, we expect fellows to have some sort of outcome from their work on the journalism challenges.
- The outcome can take many forms and is often a preliminary or intermediate step toward a goal that the fellow will continue to pursue after their JSK fellowship. Some fellows explore ideas that involve technology, others work on challenges that focus on organizational change and innovation.
