Deadline: 7 July 2017
Are you a college student of color interested in doing great journalism? Apply to ProPublica’s Emerging Reporters Program.
ProPublica has a vested interest in developing more minority journalists with a mission to shine a light on abuses of power, producing stories of moral force that provoke change.
According to ProPublica, the best way to bring about meaningful change is to take a holistic approach, tackling the obstacles that dissuade minorities from pursuing careers in journalism — especially investigative journalism.
Program Benefits
The Emerging Reporters program provides $4,500-per-semester stipends, along with mentoring, and trips to the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting conference and our New York office, for five college students each year who work or want to work at college journalism outlets — newspapers, websites, radio stations or TV stations.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Emerging Reporters program is specifically designed for African Americans, Latinos and other people of color.
- It is only for current undergraduate or graduate students taking full-time classes in the 2017-18 academic year and those who can demonstrate financial need.
- The purpose of the stipends is to make college journalism accessible to students for whom it would otherwise be economically out of reach.
