IN collaboration with News Corp and The Wall Street Journal, the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is offering journalists from around the world an opportunity to sharpen their digital journalism skills.
ICFJ is also providing journalists support to develop data- and/or digitally-driven projects.
The 2023 News Corp Media Fellowship program includes digital innovation training, grant funding and exclusive, virtual newsroom placement with WSJ. It builds on previous iterations of the Fellowship, which since 2014 has offered journalists an immersive experience in some of the world’s most digitally advanced newsrooms.
During the fellowship, journalists will be embedded virtually for three months (September 15, 2023 – December 15, 2023) with WSJ.
The selected News Corp Media Fellow will have the opportunity to: Contribute to WSJ projects on analysing audience engagement and newsletter interactions, Lead peer-to-peer discussions, Promote an exchange of ideas and knowledge and Establish new partnerships and relationships with WSJ teams.
The fellow will also have the opportunity to travel and meet WSJ colleagues at the bureau closest to them. The one-week site visit will include meetings with various teams and newsroom leaders.
The program will cover all expenses during the week-long visit.
English-speaking journalists and editors with experience working with data, audience engagement, or newsletters are welcome to apply for the webinars – the first step toward the fellowship. Journalists from all countries are eligible for the opportunity.
The deadline for the submission of application is March 26, 2023. Interested applicants can apply here.
