ICFJ seeks Knight fellows [Worldwide]

Posted on Feb 8, 2024 in Media Innovation

The ICFJ Knight Fellowships, the flagship program of the International Center for Journalists, seek project proposals from news innovators for a one- year working, paid Fellowship.

ICFJ Knight Fellows are doers. They are creative, entrepreneurial journalists or technologists who have identified a problem that needs solving in their own country/region--and have a great idea for how to fix it. The goal: to improve news and information in the public interest.

Fellows also have a passion for spreading the best ideas and practices across borders to people who are tackling similar challenges.

In this round of Fellowship applications, ICFJ is interested in hearing from news innovators with the best new ideas for:

  • How AI can serve journalism.
  • Creating communities and resources for journalists in exile.
  • Serving the information needs of diaspora communities in the United States.
  • Combating disinformation, especially around elections.

Apply by Feb. 29.
