Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship - Charles Koch Institute

The year-long Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship is for early-career professionals who are aspiring future leaders in the industry.

I’m halfway through my fellowship and they just opened applications for the next batch of fellows! If you’re an early-career journalist I highly recommend applying. It’s functionally a bunch of free training plus they cover 60% of your salary up to $50k. You can work at any real news outlet in the US.

That means you could probably ask for a raise at your current job or you could more easily get a new job, because a news outlet with a $33,333 budget can get an $83,3333 journalist with the stimulus money. The only catch is you have to spend about 4 hours a week learning about journalism/talking with mentors/doing a project/going to 3 conferences (all fully paid for and organized!)

The other catch is it’s funded by the Charles Koch Institute, but Poynter is the operator and very well-respected. No one has asked to review my writing before publication or anything, if that’s what you’re wondering. No one has even asked what I’m writing, just how they can help me accomplish my career goals while my actual boss is Bay Nature magazine.

Happy to answer questions about it, just read the link first!
