Applications are now open for the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship 2023-2024. Knight-Wallace Fellowships offer talented journalists a unique opportunity: collaborative study and learning at the University of Michigan to deepen knowledge, develop new ideas and tackle the challenges facing the journalism industry.
Journalists eager for growth and deeply committed to the future of journalism spend an academic year in Ann Arbor to access the resources of a world-class university and immerse themselves in a journalism project. Areas of focus may include, but are not limited to, honing professional skills, addressing a challenge faced by your newsroom, researching data and surveys for a long-term reporting project or developing a journalistic venture.

ELIGIBILITY
Qualified candidates must have a minimum of five years' experience and be currently working in some aspect of journalism for a news organisation or as a freelance journalist.
They are looking for a diverse range of journalists, including reporters, editors, data specialists, visual journalists, audio producers, engagement specialists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and organisational change agents.
If you're not a full-time journalist, most of your work should be in journalism. They don't consider full-time academics, PR writers, in-house trade writers, lobbyists, public lawyers or those pursuing a degree.
If you are a US citizen, apply as a US candidate, even if you work in another country or for a non-US news organisation. If you are not a US citizen, apply as an international candidate, even if you work in the United States or for an American news organisation. A green card is not the same as citizenship.
