Foreign Policy is seeking talented, early-career journalists for its 2016-2017 Fellows Program. The yearlong fellowship is a unique, exciting, and highly competitive opportunity, offering young reporters and aspiring editors the chance to work closely with seasoned writers and editors who focus on international news at an award-winning magazine: covering major events, analyzing policy developments, and telling compelling human stories from around the world. Fellows regularly research and write their own articles — particularly for FP’s Passport news blog — and play a key role in the daily production of both web and print content. They are considered essential members of the magazine’s staff and are expected to be daily contributors.

The fellowship, which is full time and includes a salary and benefits, will begin on Sept. 1, 2016, and be based in Washington, D.C. The position is ideal for journalists with about 1-2 years of experience, including those who have recently graduated from journalism school. We’re looking for curious, creative, and quick-thinking candidates who have a passion for international affairs and a commitment to high-quality reporting and writing. A sense of humor doesn’t hurt, either.

The fellow will: report, research, and write articles and blog posts for ForeignPolicy.com; fact-check and research articles for Foreign Policy magazine; play a central role in web production, including layouts, multimedia packages, copy-editing, and social media.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree; previous journalism experience (at least 1-2 years; no more than 5); Strong and demonstrated interest in international news and/or politics; outstanding research and writing skills; fact-checking experience preferred; an efficient, flexible, and detail-oriented approach to tasks; familiarity with using digital and social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Digg, and other platforms; fluency in foreign languages and/or experience working overseas preferred

Journalists from around the United States are invited to apply for fellowships at the Age Boom Academy, an advanced training institute on the economics and science of aging, jointly sponsored by the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center. The 2016 Academy will present leading experts on aging, work and retirement and will include senior journalist facilitators.

The Academy will be conducted from Thursday evening, June 9, through Saturday, June 11, at Columbia Journalism School in New York City.

Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65, with ramifications for every institution. The 2016 Age Boom Academy will explore the science of work and retirement. Who can afford to retire? Is it reasonable in this time of rising longevity to increase the retirement age? How would later retirement affect different people—groups with lower life expectancy or those who do physical labor? How do employers handle their aging workforces? How do older adults wish to spend their post- retirement years?

Reporters, editors and producers in all media (print, broadcast and online) will explore these questions together with diverse scientists, economists and other leading experts. This program is designed both for local/regional reporters and national correspondents covering aspects of aging, work, and retirement. Freelancers as well as staff reporters are encouraged to apply. Approximately 20 fellows will be selected.

The fellowship covers travel, lodging and attendance fees. The deadline to apply for fellowships is Friday, March 4, 2016.

To apply, and for more information, go to ageboom.columbia.edu.

Begun in 2000 by Dr. Robert N. Butler and Jack Rosenthal, the Age Boom Academy educates journalists about the complex economic, health and social implications of an aging society. Nearly 200 journalists have participated in Age Boom Academy since its inception. The 2016 Age Boom Academy is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
