About National Press Foundation Widening the Pipeline Fellowship

U.S. journalism has an ongoing diversity crisis. There simply are not enough reporters and editors of color to inform, engage and accurately reflect their society. To combat this, the National Press Foundation's Widening the Pipeline Fellowship will provide expenses-paid trainings in Washington, D.C., as well as virtual workshops to support journalists of color staying in - and leading - the newsrooms of tomorrow.

In Widening the Pipeline's first two years, 45 journalists from across America received skills training, mentoring and peer support to help them navigate America's newsrooms, where people of color comprise less than a quarter of positions. And too often, early career journalists of color leave the industry due to lack of support and mentorship-before they can build the strategies and skills that could help them make much-needed contributions to communities across the country.
