Deadline: 20 July 2017
The Online News Association is seeking applications for its MJ Bear Fellowships that are designed to provide support and guidance to fellows on both their projects and their own professional development.
Each year, ONA recognizes three fellows— two in the United States or Canada and one international. The fellows are up-and-coming journalists who are just beginning to make their voices heard in the industry and working to expand the boundaries of digital news.
Fellows are focused on developing a digital project, which might include experiments in social media, a unique approach to news coverage, creative data visualizations or other digital approaches. Through the course of the one-year fellowship, these early-career journalists receive guidance from industry leaders and opportunities to share their work with the digital journalism community.
Benefits
Each Fellowship provides:
- Three online workshop sessions with a Personal Advisory Board.
- Registration, travel and accommodations for the Online News Association Conference & Awards Banquet
- Recognition at the ONA conference
- ONA membership, with three years’ dues paid in full
Eligibility Criteria
- The fellowship is open to working journalists under 30 who are leading a digital journalism project.
- ONA encourages freelancers and journalists from diverse backgrounds to apply.
