Early-career investigative data journalists are eligible for a fellowship.
ProPublica is accepting applications for the David Burnham-TRAC Data Reporting Fellowship. The fellowship honors Burnham, an investigative journalist who reported on local, state and federal enforcement corruption for 50 years. He also helped found the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, TRAC, a data gathering, research and distribution organization at Syracuse University.
The selected fellow will learn from some of the best data and investigative reporters in the business and have the space to shed light on both the inner workings of the government and impacts of federal policy.
This two-year fellowship begins in September. The fellow will receive an US$85,000 salary and benefits.
The deadline is June 16.
