Journalism Internship Fellowship Grant Opportunities
Applications Open for 2024–26 New York Times Editing Residency
The New York Times has opened applications for its Editing Residency, a one-of-a-kind program aimed at cultivating the next generation of editors.
Residents work full time for two years across a range of desks in the newsroom. They are paid, receive benefits and attend dedicated training and speaker programs at The Times. We plan to welcome three new residents this year. Our goal is to recruit candidates of diverse backgrounds and give them the tools and experiences they need to help shape journalism. The most competitive candidates will have professional journalism experience and show a commitment to learning the craft of editing.
The deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, May 30, after which the program directors and editors across the newsroom will collaborate to choose the new residents. The residency begins in November.
The Virginian-Pilot newsroom internship program
The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press are looking for talented young journalists to join our newsroom in 2024.
We’re the largest newspaper in Virginia, and our newsroom features award-winning journalists eager to help you learn. Our coverage area includes many cities, miles of beaches, the world’s largest Navy base, and more.
Our interns are paid, and treated as regular newsroom staff members, learning on the job and helping to produce Virginia’s best news coverage. You will be assigned an editor, participate in team meetings, and may join training sessions on topical subjects.
We’re offering internships throughout the year, with start dates in the spring, summer, and fall.
If you have questions, please contact internship director Sean Kennedy, at sean.kennedy@pilotonline.com.
Pulitzer Center Machine Learning Reporting Grants
The Pulitzer Center encourages proposals that use advanced data mining techniques, such as machine learning and natural language processing, to solve a data or reporting problem related to a journalistic investigation.
We’re seeking compelling data-driven storytelling—based on original and transparent data collection and analysis—that has the potential to shape public discourse and hold the powerful accountable.
We will consider projects of any scope and size. Please choose a team leader to submit the proposal, and submit only one project per journalist, data team, or newsroom.
This grant opportunity is now open, and applications will be reviewed on a first-come, rolling basis.
Pulitzer Center Grant Proposals For Enterprise Stories On Threats To Democracy in the U.S.
The Pulitzer Center is seeking proposals for enterprise stories that focus on threats to democratic institutions in the United States. Topics can include, but are not limited to, voting suppression; misinformation and disinformation; intimidation of election officials; politicization of election systems; political violence; dark money; and extremism/militias.
This opportunity is open to all newsrooms and independent journalists in the United States and applications are open and reviewed as they come in.
We value data, investigative, and accountability journalism projects that tackle systemic issues and hold to account powerful local figures.
You decide what underreported stories your community needs to engage with, and we support that reporting and champion it, including creating educational materials and organizing events to expand the reach of your stories and the conversation about them.
