International Center For Journalists (ICFJ) Knight Fellowship (2024)

The International Center for Journalists is excited to open applications for the 2024 ICFJ Knight Fellowships, marking the fellowship’s 30th year of fostering innovative journalism practices across the globe. The fellowships are made possible by the longtime support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

The one-year fellowship program nurtures groundbreaking media projects that address challenges in the fellows’ home regions and helps share those innovations internationally. In 2024, the ICFJ Knight Fellows will include one or two U.S.-based fellows to focus on the intersection of international and U.S. information needs.

WORTH

• The successful applicant will receive funding support, mentorship, and access to a network of media professionals.
• The fellowship also includes opportunities for training and international exposure, ensuring that the fellow can make a substantial impact in their local media environment and sustain the project beyond the fellowship period.
• Fellows will be provided with a monthly honorarium and professional expenses so they make their fellowship projects their primary focus. Work outside the fellowship that relates to or feeds into the project is allowed.

Themes to focus on include:

• How AI can serve journalism
• Creating communities and resources for journalists in exile
• Serving the information needs of diaspora communities in the United States
• Combating disinformation, especially around elections
• Covering climate change innovatively
• Creating networks of shared services or infrastructure to help independent journalism thrive

DEADLINE: February 29, 2024
