TARBELL AI FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR EARLY-CAREER JOURNALISTS GLOBALLY

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: February 28th, 2025, at 11:59 PM Anywhere on Earth.

LOCATION: USA

The Tarbell Fellowship is a one-year program for early-career journalists interested in covering artificial intelligence. Fellows secure a 9-month placement at a major newsroom, participate in a 10-week study group covering AI governance & technical fundamentals, and attend a week-long journalism summit in San Francisco. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The fellowship is designed to support those early in their journalism career, i.e. with 0-5 years relevant experience. We welcome applications from mid-career professionals hoping to transition to a career in journalism. You may still apply if you have 5+ years of journalism experience, however you are somewhat less likely to be accepted.

There is no age limit for applying.

They support early-career journalists from around the globe. However, they strongly encourage fellows to move to international journalism hubs for the duration of this fellowship. They expect this to accelerate fellows’ careers and will give preferential treatment to those willing to do this. They may be able to provide office space in hubs such as London and New York.

BENEFIT:

Fellows receive a stipend of up to $50,000 depending on location and personal circumstances.
