COLUMBIA Journalism School is inviting applications for the 2025 Sulzberger Executive Leadership Programme. To support the programme, the Google News Initiative is sponsoring four scholarships for news leaders to attend.
The programme trains news leaders to lead innovation and solve strategic business challenges in a time of rapid transformation, uncertainty and opportunity.
Fellows in this five-month low-residency programme spend three weeks at Columbia Journalism School in New York City, starting with a 10-day residency from January 06 – 17, 2025.
Fellows then work on their projects and assignments back at their organisations and attend a weekly virtual cohort meeting. Fellows return for one final week of residency, May 19-23, 2025.
Underrepresented news leaders are eligible for scholarships to attend a leadership programme.
The scholarship covers tuition as well as travel costs to New York City for the residency weeks.
The application deadline is October 13, 2024. Interested applicants can apply here.
