The Economist's social media team is seeking a fellow to support the team’s work in the New York bureau.

The social media fellow will assist with our strategy to extend the reach of The Economist’s journalism in North America, with a particular focus on America’s 2020 elections. The paid fellowship will last for one year.

The successful candidate will work with colleagues across editorial departments. To be successful, you must be an innovative, unstoppable newshound with an interest in, and knowledge of, current affairs and American politics. You should be excited about the opportunities of social media for a weekly newspaper that was first published more than 150 years before the first tweet. This is an entry-level position working alongside the assistant communities editor in New York, and reporting to the head of social media, based in London.

You should have some junior experience as a journalist, either through internships or perhaps for a college newspaper, or have experience in telling engaging stories online.

In this role you would be expected to:
-Help distribute The Economist’s journalism across digital channels, including newsletters and social media
-Create and test engaging formats for The Economist’s journalism on different platforms
-Work with correspondents and editors to tell stories digitally

To succeed in this role you must have:
-The ability to share online stories in an engaging way
-An understanding of social networks, and emerging trends and platforms in digital media
-Strong writing and proofreading skills
-Good communication skills both written and oral
-An understanding of current affairs and American politics
-Strong news judgement
-The ability to be a self starter, capable of working independently
-Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator and After Effects skills are a plus

The MacDowell Colony provides time and space for artists to work on creative projects. The Colony has expanded its support for journalists by providing additional residencies and project funding of up to $2,500 in addition to financial aid for accepted artists engaged in long-form journalism projects.
A MacDowell Fellowship consists of exclusive use of a studio, accommodations, and three prepared meals a day for two weeks to two months. There are no residency fees. Artists are responsible for materials and travel expenses: financial assistance is available to artists in residence based on need.
MacDowell encourages applications from artists representing the widest possible range of perspectives and demographics. The sole criterion for acceptance is artistic excellence.
The application deadline is January 15th for the Summer 2020 residency season.

The Forward is seeking a responsible and resourceful journalist to work side-by-side with its new Editor-in-Chief on strategy, operations and new initiatives as project manager. This is an experimental, year-long fellowship, a great entry-level opportunity for an omnivorous learner and dexterous doer. Salary for the guild-represented, full-time position is $37,304, with generous benefits.

This is not a reporting and writing job, though there may be occasional opportunities in those realms. It is, instead, a front-row seat to the challenges of digital nonprofit journalism, a chance to participate in real time in the revamping of a venerable legacy institution into an innovative, modern, essential outlet for news and conversation.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about digital media and also about the Jewish world. Nimbleness and ability to juggle multiple assignments is a must, as is skepticism, humility and humor. The fellow should be someone who thinks and moves quickly, researches widely, writes cleanly, communicates professionally, works collaboratively and has a strong sense of mission. Social-media savvy is a must; fluency with audience/analytics tools a plus; eagerness to learn new skills and try new things both crucial.

As this is a new role — supporting someone who is also new in her role — duties and responsibilities will undoubtedly evolve over time and depending on the candidate selected. But sample projects and tasks might include:

- Doing competitive landscape research for new initiatives
- Helping Editor-in-Chief prepare for speaking engagements, presentations and stakeholder meetings with Jewish leaders, groups, philanthropists
- Curating content from other sources for roundups/publication
- Digging into audience data to understand trends and find opportunities
- Ensuring priority projects stay on schedule and tracking their impact
- Communicating with readers and others on behalf of editor and team
- Finding and vetting candidates to submit pieces to the Forward
- Developing partnership programs to engage members of Jewish organizations
- Building networks of contributors at college campuses

To apply, please send resume, five clips, a cover letter explaining why you want the gig and contact information for two references to jobs@forward.com. Subject line: Project Manager.

Investigative Reporting Fellow
The O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism
Program at a glance: Reporters from around the country have used the O’Brien Fellowship to produce great investigative projects annually since 2013. Their journalism has examined deaths of mentally ill inmates in America’s jails, overlooked stumbling blocks facing schools, exploitation of undocumented workers, national homicide trends, a failed mental health system, the dangers of diacetyl, climate change, and more.
O’Brien fellows take up residence in Milwaukee, travel domestically or overseas as needed, and write from offices in the O’Brien suite in the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette University. Fellows receive full funding for salary, travel and research. Each works with a team of top Marquette journalism students on their project.
After the fellowship, O’Brien sends a university-funded summer intern to each fellow’s news organization. The fellowship then hosts a conference spotlighting the work of each fellow.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel partners on many of the projects. Former Journal Sentinel investigative reporter Dave Umhoefer, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is director of the fellowship.

Eligibility:
Applicants must have at least five years of professional experience and produce journalism regularly as an employee or freelancer. Applicants may have experience with newspapers, radio, television, online publications, film production, wire services, or magazines of general interest. There are no academic prerequisites.

Benefits:
* A stipend totaling $65,000, with health insurance and benefits if the fellow’s employer does not provide them.
* An allowance of up to $8,000 for travel, technology, research and equipment for project-related expenses.
* A residency allowance based on family requirements for fellows moving to the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
* A moving allowance between $2,000 and $4,000 depending on family size and distance.

Selection criteria:
* A proposal to produce a rigorous, multimedia journalism project with the potential to have major impact, and investigate and explain how individuals and groups can identify responses to social problems.
* The ability to complete the project during the fellowship, and integrate Marquette students as part of a reporting team.
* The capacity to ensure the greatest possible exposure for the reporting once completed.
An advisory committee consisting of distinguished journalists and Marquette faculty and alumni will review all applications. The committee will offer recommendations to the dean of the College of Communication for final selection.

We are looking for two senior reporting fellows to join one of America’s most innovative (and fun) investigative newsrooms. We’re not interested in you covering the news. Your job will be to do enterprising, hard-hitting stories, whether short, medium or long.

Our fellows primarily report their own stories — like this one — and also collaborate with other reporters at ProPublica on big projects.

Reporting fellows at ProPublica have gone on to work at The New York Times, Bloomberg, Politico, NPR, Center for Public Integrity and the Chicago Tribune — as well as ProPublica itself.

The fellowship run for a year, pays $50,000 and includes full benefits. They will start at the beginning of 2020 and will be based at our headquarters in New York.

We’re looking for someone who:

Recently graduated from college or journalism school, or is relatively early in their journalism career

Is committed to aggressively reporting stories about abuses of power

Is truly excited about all the possible ways we can do journalism nowadays: from deep data-digging, to working with readers, to marrying narrative and investigative forms

Really likes working with others. Everybody at ProPublica has their own superpower, whether it’s sourcing, document-diving, data, engagement or design. And we do our best work together.

We know there are great candidates who won’t fit everything we’ve described above, or who have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply. There’s a place on the application for you to tell us more.

We are dedicated to improving our newsroom, in part by better reflecting the people we cover. (Here is a breakdown of our own staff.) We are committed to building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages, and we’re taking active steps to meet this commitment. We especially encourage members of historically underrepresented communities to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.

The MacDowell Colony provides time, space, and an inspiring environment to artists of exceptional talent. Emerging and established artists may apply in the following disciplines: architecture, film/video arts, interdisciplinary arts, literature, music composition, theatre, and visual arts. A MacDowell Fellowship consists of exclusive use of a studio, accommodations, and three prepared meals a day for two weeks to two months. The MacDowell Colony believes that all talented artists should have the opportunity a MacDowell Fellowship provides. There is no cost for a Fellowship; however, artists are responsible for materials and travel expenses. In order to open the residency experience to a broader community of artists, MacDowell offers two financial assistance programs to those who have been awarded a Fellowship. Through the generosity of several foundations and individuals need-based stipends are available to artists who would not otherwise be able to afford the time away that a Fellowship requires. Additionally, travel reimbursement grants are available to defray the cost of domestic and international travel to and from New Hampshire. MacDowell encourages applications from artists representing the widest possible range of perspectives and demographics. The sole criterion for acceptance is artistic excellence. The application deadline for the winter spring 2020 residency period is September 15, 2019.

The Emerging Reporters Program is specifically designed for those who might find investigative journalism inaccessible. All students who will be juniors or seniors in college this academic year are eligible to apply, and African Americans, Latinos and other people of color are especially encouraged to do so. Participants are expected to take a full course load during the 2019-20 school year. Applicants must also demonstrate financial need. The purpose of the stipends is to make college journalism accessible to students for whom it would otherwise be economically out of reach.

The Emerging Reporters Program provides a $9,000 stipend, along with mentoring and trips to the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting conference and our New York office, for five students each year who work or want to work at college journalism outlets: newspapers, websites, radio stations or TV stations.

This year’s program will run from September to June, with mentors and program participants in contact by phone and email.
