The Knight-Wallace Fellowships offer accomplished journalists a unique opportunity to dedicate time and resources to their professional growth. Selected journalists spend an academic year at the University of Michigan, accessing the vast resources of a world-class institution and engaging in a journalism project of their choice. The program encourages Fellows to focus on areas such as sharpening their professional skills, addressing challenges in their newsrooms, conducting in-depth data and research for long-term reporting projects, or developing new journalism ventures. Up to 20 Fellows from diverse backgrounds in journalism are going to participate in this transformative experience in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as they take the next step in their careers.
