The deadline for news organizations interested in partnering with Report for America to host emerging and experienced journalists in their newsrooms is Sept. 30.

- Service-minded reporters, photographers and videographers
- Diverse, hand-picked candidates from a pool of emerging and experienced journalists
- Subsidized salary support, up to half for the first year
- Local fundraising coaching and resources
- Extra training and mentoring for journalists
The application deadline is September 30, 2021, and newsrooms will be publicly announced in December. More information about how the program works can be found here.
