Description
The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Public Service Journalism is a Society of Professional Journalists Foundation program supporting mid-career journalists who specialize in fact-based commentary or analysis. It provides time away from daily responsibilities to pursue in-depth reporting on issues of public importance. Fellows may deepen their knowledge through courses, independent study, research or travel while broadening their journalistic skills and understanding of the world.
The fellowship is intended to produce published public service journalism, such as editorials, investigative series, podcasts or books. Projects may also use photojournalism, documentary video or broadcast formats; the fellowship is not restricted to a particular medium. It supports individual journalists, although fellows may collaborate with newsroom colleagues.
