The Tarbell Fellowship Organisation has come up with a unique opportunity for budding journalists to do great journalism and bring their impact-focused perspective to major newsrooms and publications around the globe. It has started the Tarbell Fellowship for the academic year 2022-2023.
The fellowship program will cover topics that could majorly impact the lives of billions, such as global poverty and existential risks. All early-career journalists can apply for this fellowship. The fellowship is entirely remote. Candidates with a strong commitment to improving the world, a creative approach to storytelling combined with the ability to get to the heart of a new topic quickly, and the ability to doggedly pursue your goals and persevere in the face of adversity will be considered.Under the Tarbell Fellowship program, selected fellows will receive stipends of $35,000 – $50,000 depending on location and personal circumstances, mentorship under an experienced journalist who will provide critical feedback and challenge the fellow to set goals and deliver on them, and conduct fortnightly mentorship calls, training in remote sessions in best practices, talks from experts in the field and challenging assignments designed to build skills, and an opportunity to attend a two-week summit in Oxford at the beginning of the fellowship.
