COLUMBIA JOURNALISM SCHOOL: KNIGHT-BAGEHOT FELLOWSHIP IN ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS JOURNALISM

Application Deadline: 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024.

LOCATION: USA

The Knight-Bagehot Fellowship offers experienced journalists the opportunity to enhance their understanding of business and economics, finance and technology. Fellows spend two semesters at Columbia Journalism School and take most of their classes at Columbia Business School. They meet weekly for off-the-record seminars and dinners with top journalists, entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.

ELIGIBILITY:

The fellowship is open to full-time editorial employees of newspapers, magazines, wire services, digital media, television and radio news organizations, as well as to freelance journalists, from anywhere in the world. Applicants must have at least four years of business/economics/finance journalism experience and have received a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an accredited university. While a majority of the fellows typically come from the U.S., we specifically look for candidates who can help deliver better business journalism in all parts of the world.

The chief criterion for selection is demonstrated journalistic excellence. Essays and letters of recommendation are important parts of the application as are previous work samples and a plan of study. All materials, including letters of reference, college transcripts, essays and work samples should be compiled and submitted with the application form.

Applicants’ employers, except under unusual circumstances, should submit a letter supporting the application, but applicants are not required to obtain formal employer approval to apply for and get admitted to the program. Fellows are prohibited from working and/or freelancing during the fellowship year and must re-locate to New York City. Fellows are encouraged to return to their employers at the end of their year at Columbia.

Fellowship selections will be announced by mid-April. The number of fellowships awarded each year, as well as the level of the living expenses stipend, is determined by the program’s financial resources.

BENEFIT:

Receive full tuition, health insurance and $6,600 a month. Subsidized Columbia housing is also available.
