Description
The Pulitzer Center's Reporting Fellowships provide students from Campus Consortium partner institutions with the opportunity to design and execute independent journalism projects focused on critical and underreported issues, both globally and within the United States. Fellows receive mentorship from Pulitzer Center staff, access to a robust professional network, and a variety of journalism resources. Projects can take multiple forms—articles, photo essays, video, audio, and data visualizations—and are featured on the Pulitzer Center website and in prominent media outlets. The fellowship experience also includes participation in an annual gathering in Washington, D.C., where fellows connect with established journalists and editors, building lifelong professional relationships and skills in storytelling, analysis, and multimedia reporting.
