Posted on Aug 28, 2024 in Environmental Reporting

Freelance and staff journalists based in the U.S. with an interest in climate change can apply for a fellowship. 

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Environmental Solutions Initiative is offering the MIT Environmental Solutions Journalism Fellowship. The program assists journalists in developing a high-impact news project that reports on how climate change and/or the shift to a low-carbon economy relates to local communities and regions.

The four-month program includes a multi-day virtual workshop; access to an editor to support project structure and packaging; training on using MIT’s extensive library databases, socioeconomic climate analyses, and other resources as requested; and more.

This fellowship begins in January 2025. Fellows will receive a US$10,000 stipend, plus US$5,000 for project-related expenses.

The deadline is Oct. 14.
