New York Women’s Foundation IGNITE! Fellow, In The Thick

In The Thick is a political podcast where journalists of color discuss what’s missing from the mainstream news. Co-hosted by award-winning journalists Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela, In The Thick has conversations about race, identity and politics few people are discussing or want to discuss. It’s a podcast that values and gives platform to POC voices so communities of color understand they matter in the country’s political discourse. In 2020, In The Thick was awarded Adweek’s Diversity and Inclusion Podcast of the Year and the Latin Podcast Awards best English language podcast.
We are seeking recent graduates from a journalism program or journalism professionals with a passionate interest in reporting that centers the voices and stories of girls, young women, and gender-fluid individuals of color in NYC. The fellowship is funded by the New York Women’s Foundation and will focus on stories that encourage girls, young women, and gender-fluid youth of color to lead self-determined lives and create a culture and narrative shift to advance gender and racial equity in NYC.
The fellowship is open to female and/or gender-fluid individuals who are early-career reporters with no more than five years’ experience in the field. They will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them, honing their journalistic and storytelling skills as well as gaining technical radio broadcasting and podcasting skills.
The fellowship will begin February 16, 2021, and end October 15, 2021. The fellow will work four days a week at the rate of $15/hour that will be paid out bi-weekly throughout the duration of the fellowship. Currently this fellowship will be remote through June 1, 2021 as the Futuro office is virtual due to COVID-19. We will be continuously monitoring the situation and the return date is subject to change. But the fellow should be NYC-based with the expectation of returning to Futuro’s Harlem office later in the year. A monthly MTA metrocard will be provided to the Fellow once Futuro’s office reopens and travel is necessary. The Fellow will be immersed in In The Thick’s editorial and production process, particularly gaining feedback on how to research, pitch, produce and edit stories from In The Thick’s unique perspective.
The ideal candidate should play well with others and enjoy production and reporting. They should have a passion for telling POC stories and working with voices that are rarely heard in the public media landscape. We’re a small shop, so we need someone who is a true team player, unafraid of rolling up their sleeves and doing whatever it takes to complete an assignment.

Ida B. Wells Fellowship

Ida B. Wells Fellowship
Ends on March 13, 2022
Named after the pioneering Black investigative reporter, the Ida B. Wells Fellowship is designed to promote diversity in journalism by helping to create a pipeline of investigative reporters who bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and interests to their work. Winners are chosen by an annual competition.

For the 2022-23 cycle, Type Investigations will provide four fellows with a $25,000 stipend (including $20,000 in payments distributed on a monthly basis throughout the year, plus $5,000 in bonus payments paid upon completion of the fellowship project), and access to Type Investigations editors who will advise them throughout the process of producing their first substantial work of investigative reporting.

The one-year fellowship also covers travel and other reporting costs associated with the project and the costs associated with attending the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference, as well as data training through the National Institute of Computer-Assisted Reporting. Each fellow will also enjoy access to research resources, legal counsel, professional mentoring, fact-checking, and assistance with story placement and publicity. The fellowship is a one-time educational opportunity and is non-renewable.

In 2022, we will select one Southern Ida B. Wells Fellow, who is based in, and will report from North or South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Kentucky, Texas, or Mississippi. The Southern fellow's work must appear in an outlet serving this region. If you would like to be selected for the Southern Fellowship, please check the corresponding box within the application form.

Journalists of color are strongly encouraged to apply, as are other reporters who believe their presence would contribute substantially to diversifying the field of investigative reporting. The fellowship is open to entry-level or mid-career journalists.

The deadline for the 2022 application is Sunday, March 13 at 11:59pm EST. Please submit your application at least an hour prior to the deadline in case you experience technical issues. Late applications will not be accepted. If you choose to apply, you will be alerted the week of March 27 if your application has been advanced to the semi-finalist round of the process, and you will be asked to submit two letters of recommendation at that time. Finalists will be interviewed in April, and fellows will be chosen in May. The fellowship runs from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023.

We are looking for reporters:

- who have an ambitious investigation they want to pursue, a passion for holding the powerful accountable, and an appetite for digging.
- with the demonstrated ability to produce a narrative feature for print or broadcast.
- who would relish the opportunity to closely collaborate with editors.
- with the persistence, attentiveness to detail, and organizational skills to complete a major project within a set timeframe.

Fellows are strongly encouraged to publish or air their projects within one year of the start of the fellowship. Each project produced during the fellowship must appear in a U.S. media outlet. Both freelance and staff reporters may apply, but staffers must submit a letter from their editor agreeing to allow them at least one day per week to work on their fellowship story, and committing to co-publishing their investigation.

TIPS: Before applying, we encourage you to check out investigations Ida B. Wells Fellows have produced in the past and that you do a thorough search for previous reporting related to your story idea. Please be clear about how your project has the potential to uncover or expose something new and have real-world impact. If you have more questions, please refer to our FAQ.

Editorial Fellow

Fatherly is looking for an Editorial Fellow. This person would work at least 20 hours a week, ideally more at $18/hour, for about three months. They would respond to breaking news on child care and paid leave alongside other relevant policy for millennial parents, as well as report on the subjects. The ideal candidate would be someone who is comfortable with policy/politics writing who can pitch and write one to two stories a day, several days a week. This fellow would also have the opportunity to work with other section editors on larger scale pieces for their portfolio.

While someone with relevant experience would be great, we've had great success with writers of nontraditional experience who want to expand their skillset and learn how to write news on a quick deadline with a keen eye towards the brand, who they are writing the stories for, and with a strong knack for language and clean copy.

In addition to having a strong command of language, they should be able to reliably source and fact check their own work as well as discuss story angles and frameworks with their assigning editor. If you or someone you know is interested, please send a resume, 1-2 relevant clips, and a brief cover letter to Lizzy Francis and Tyghe Trimble at lizzy.francis@bdg.com and tyghe.trimble@bdg.com.
