Deadline: December 1st 2023 | Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship USA 2024 (Fully Funded)
The Knight-Wallace Fellowships provide experienced journalists with two valuable but scarce resources: time and money. In order to utilise the resources of a top-tier university and get started on a media project, journalists who are eager to advance and are strongly committed to the future of journalism spend an academic year at The University of Michigan. Focus areas may include, but are not limited to, building a journalistic enterprise, addressing a problem in your newsroom, sifting through data and conducting research for a long-term reporting project.
