Deadline: 30 March 2020
Applications are now open for the 2020 Google News Initiative Fellowship in Europe. It offers 50 exciting fellowship placements across 14 countries.
The Google News Initiative Fellowship connects students and recent graduates who want to explore the intersection between journalism and technology with news organisations.
The Google News Initiative (GNI) provides funding. The European Journalism Centre (EJC) coordinates the programme and provides administrative support. The host organisations do not represent the views or opinions of GNI/the EJC and cannot bind Google/the EJC legally.
The successful candidates will kick off their careers in the news industry by spending 8 weeks in summer working with experts in newsrooms and creating a professional network.
