DEADLINE: NPF "Widening the Pipeline" Fellowship

U.S. journalism has an ongoing diversity crisis. There simply are not enough reporters and editors of color to inform, engage and accurately reflect our society.

To combat this, the National Press Foundation’s 2024 Widening the Pipeline Fellowship will provide expenses-paid trainings in Washington, D.C., as well as virtual workshops to support journalists of color staying in – and leading – the newsrooms of tomorrow.

NPF welcomes journalists from any medium with seven years or less of professional newsroom experience to participate in this career-defining cohort.

This competitive fellowship is open to U.S.-based reporters and editors working in print, television, radio or online media. We greatly value diversity in all our programs and applicants from across the nation are encouraged to apply.  The foundation will cover airfare, hotel, transportation to the airport and most meals for the two in-person trainings in Washington, D.C., held in February and December 2024, each of which will not exceed four days in length. A virtual training day or session(s) will be held every four to six weeks between the in-person workshops, in addition to a virtual orientation in January 2024.

Application Deadline: Nov 5, 2023
