Details
Applications are open for the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships 2023-2024 at Stanford University. Each year, the Fellowships bring together journalists from around the world to spend September-June at Stanford working on solutions to the most urgent problems facing journalism. If you aspire to be a leader who can help reimagine and transform journalism, apply to the programme.
A John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship has two primary components: Exploring and testing ideas for addressing a problem in journalism that is important to you, and identifying mindsets and tools needed to become a more resilient leader and change agent.
During the 10-month fellowship, they provide JSK Fellows individualized coaching, a cohort of their peers and guidance that sparks professional and personal transformation. In addition, fellows will have the time and freedom to tap into and explore the resources of this world-class university. They are especially interested in empowering those who are working to serve underrepresented communities.
