Journalists from groups underrepresented in investigative journalism are invited to apply for this program.
The Fund for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), in partnership with the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting, USA Today and Wisconsin Watch, organizes a six-month diversity fellowship.
The program aims to expand opportunities for diverse journalists in watchdog reporting.
Applicants must submit proposals for projects that are investigative in nature. Proposals for USA TODAY can be on any topic. Proposals for the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting and Wisconsin Watch need to have a state or regional focus.
The fellowship provides US$30,000 and host outlets will receive modest grants to cover other costs of the investigations.
The deadline is Sept. 27.
