Wednesday, Jan. 31, is the deadline to apply for a 2018-19 fellowship with the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri. The Institute wants fellows with ideas for innovative projects that strengthen democracy through better journalism.
Fellowships can be residential, nonresidential, or institutional. Residential fellows spend eight months on the Mizzou campus and receive an $80,000 stipend as well as a one-time $10,000 housing or relocation allowance. Nonresidential fellows do their projects from their home or office with an occasional visit to the campus. They get a $20,000 stipend plus research and travel support. Institutional fellows stay at their jobs in a newsroom or other organization while developing an idea. Their $20,000 stipend is paid to their employer and can be used for salary relief or for another purpose to ensure the success of the fellowship project. Read more about the three kinds of fellowships here.
"Successful projects often include devising new strategies to take advantage of an opportunity or solve a problem, building new tools for news organizations, transforming an idea into a market-tested prototype or advancing a prototype so it’s ready for investment or a full product launch," RJI Associate Director Mike McKean writes. "Whatever your idea, its benefits should extend to other news organizations and the people who depend on them. To apply, please clearly describe your experience, relevant connections and expected outcomes during and immediately following your fellowship year."
RJI fellowships are open to U.S. citizens and news organizations as well as international news organizations. International journalists are welcomed if they plan to partner with U.S.-based news, technology or civil society organizations. The deadline to apply is midnight CST Jan. 31.
