Funded Fellowship for Journalists to Work at Wall Street Journal for a Month in New York

The News Corp Media Fellowship is a chance to learn how some of the most prestigious news outlets in the world operate. English-speaking journalists, videographers, newsroom editors, bloggers, and journalists from all areas of expertise are welcome to apply to this fellowship.

Working with ICFJ, News Corp will bring three journalists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to New York to spend a month honing their journalistic skills at The Wall Street Journal. During the fellowship, participants will work across newsroom departments, shadow their American peers, and collaborate with them to produce news reports that harness cutting-edge journalism techniques.

To complement the four-week fellowship, ICFJ will design a three-day orientation in Washington D.C., which will prepare the fellows for their time in the newsrooms. The selected journalists will meet with key journalists, media experts and technologists. They will also gain a deeper understanding of the tools and resources reshaping the news media, including database reporting, using and creating interactive visualizations, and mobile journalism.

The fellowship covers:

[1] Travel.
