Applications are open for the Allbritton Journalism Institute Reporting Fellowship 2025-2027. The fellowship offers aspiring journalists a two-year educational program that prepares them for careers as credible, non-partisan reporters in the nation's capital or wherever their work may take them. Students learn core skills from respected professional reporters and editors in a classroom setting, and they gain real-world experience by working as reporters at All's publication, NOTUS.
Opportunity Details
The program begins with a four-week immersion course in the practical application of journalism skills, from ethics and newsgathering to writing and distribution. After four weeks, fellows balance ongoing classwork with hands-on experience: reporting and producing stories for NOTUS while honing their skills through seminars, weekly group critiques and staff mentorship. The formal program runs for 18 months, after which fellows are invited to stay for an additional six months as they are supported in seeking their next opportunity. By the end of the program, graduates will have the background necessary to cover the inner workings of Washington - and will be ready to take on reporting jobs at the country's best outlets.
