The National Press Foundation has chosen 25 journalists for a yearlong fellowship, “Widening the Pipeline,” designed to support early-career journalists of color and help them rise to positions of influence in U.S. newsrooms.
The journalists are based in 18 states and hail from print, radio, TV and digital newsrooms.
Fellows will meet in Washington D.C. for a three-day workshop March 20-23, then meet once a month for virtual training sessions and return to Washington for a concluding training in 2023. Topics will include leadership, investigative reporting, accountability reporting, data journalism, multimedia skills and in-studio media training.
