The Thomas L. Rhodes Journalism Fellowship was created to honor “Dusty” Rhodes, an engaging and well-respected conservative leader who served as the president of National Review and the chairman of The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation’s board of directors.

The Rhodes Fellowship is made available to a new or recent college graduate, up to age 25 (when initially applying) who shows interest and capability in writing on the areas of domestic policy, including but not limited to tax and fiscal policy, health care, limited government, education reform, affirmative action, the state of the conservative movement, and other subjects which have been of particular concern to Mr. Rhodes.

Located in NRI’s New York City office, the Rhodes fellow is overseen and directed by NR’s editors. Through this daily oversight by NR’s editors and regular interaction with other NR writers, the Rhodes fellow will actively be trained in the art of journalism; honing his/her writing, editing, reporting, and commentary skills, as well as learning about promotion, publicity, and social media. The skills acquired and sharpened as the Rhodes Fellow will help prepare him/her for a career in journalism, equipping him to write thoughtfully and eloquently—from a principled perspective—on important issues that impact a free and prosperous society.

The Rhodes Fellowship is designed as a one-year fellowship, renewable on an annual basis for up to two additional years (no more than three years).

Are you caught—or about to be caught—somewhere in that treacherous valley between freshly minted college graduate and full-time journalist, where clips at a magazine like ours are the climbing shoes you need to get up the mountain ahead of you? Or are you at least a rising college senior with a few solid clips and, ideally, previous media internship experience?

Are you looking for the chance to write and report in the nation’s capital? Do you want to be surrounded by professionals who take journalism seriously but also like to have fun and swap ideas?

Does incomprehensible-to-outsiders corporate-speak make your insides twirl as though Lloyd Blankfein himself is stirring them from his throne at Evil HQ? Can you get fired up every day about at least one of our coverage areas: Washington news and politics, dining, lifestyle, travel, etc.?

Are you willing to, some weeks, fact-check stories to the point of unequivocal accuracy and look dead into an editor’s eyes and say “all clear”? Are you willing to check your ego at the door and occasionally work shifts at the reception desk and help out at events, knowing that doing so is just another step on the ladder to greatness?

If this sounds like a fit, we offer an experience that’s low on grunt work and high on opportunity. Graduates of our program have gone on to publications such as Vanity Fair, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, National Geographic, Allure, Smithsonian and USA Today (and have landed full-time jobs at Washingtonian).

The positions are 40 hours a week for four months in the fall, five months in the spring, and three months in the summer, with possible extensions for standout fellows. The pay is $13.25 per hour.

Primary duties: Fact-checking and research; enterprising fellows will find many opportunities to pitch and write for the magazine and the website; will have the opportunity to meet with editors, writers, and heads of department over the course of the program to discuss their roles at the magazine and their careers in journalism.

Apply to be a TruthBuzz Fellow in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Are you a media expert with a track record of success leading innovative projects in newsrooms? Do you have sharp audience-engagement skills? Interested in deploying your multimedia savvy to combat misinformation in the United States? If so, consider applying for a full-time, 12-month TruthBuzz Fellowship.

The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), with the support of Craig Newmark Philanthropies, is looking for an experienced and driven media professional based in the United States to help verified facts reach the widest possible audience.

TruthBuzz Fellows will act as change-makers and serve as the catalyst for the adoption of creative ways of making facts go viral. The Fellow will join a global team of fellows from five countries (US, Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, India), each working closely with local news partners to improve the reach and impact of fact-checking and help “inoculate” audiences against false or misleading information. Fellows will experiment with different storytelling methods and platforms to reach more people. They will not be involved in the actual fact-checking work, instead supporting the work of fact-checkers.

The U.S. Fellow will be embedded with two partner media organizations, News & Observer and PolitiFact, to spur the production of their fact-checked content in innovative and compelling ways. We envision the Fellow working primarily from Raleigh, North Carolina where the News & Observer is based (with occasional travel to the PolitiFact offices in Florida). If relocation is not an option, we are willing to be flexible for the right candidate. We are looking for an individual who can start the 12-month fellowship in late October/early November.
Applicants possessing various levels of experience are welcome to apply.

Required qualifications include:
• Experience working in newsrooms
• Sharp audience-engagement and communications skills
• Entrepreneurial mind-set and demonstrated background in getting projects off the ground
• Demonstrated interest in experimenting with alternative and creative forms of storytelling
• Professional proficiency (speaking, reading and writing) in English
• Ability to communicate program results as a speaker, writer
While not required, applicants with multimedia, programming, design or other digital skills are preferred. To read the full criteria and TruthBuzz Fellow FAQ, go to https://www.icfj.org/our-work/truthbuzz-fellow-faq

The selected Fellow will receive:
• An opportunity to attend a three-day orientation in Washington, DC from October 24 - 26, 2018
• Monthly honorarium (commensurate with experience and qualifications)
• Professional allowance to supplement their work
• Small funds to travel to conferences and events related to the goals of the TruthBuzz Fellowship
• Training and collaboration opportunities with First Draft News, a project of the Shorenstein Center at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government on research

This 18-­month position will help lead a new initiative, called “Bridging the Divides,” that is being launched by the GGSC, in partnership with NationSwell.

In response to growing social, political, and economic divisions in the United States and around the world, Bridging the Divides will raise awareness about the research­-based strategies for fostering constructive cross­-group dialogue, relationships, and understanding. The initiative will produce a range of multimedia resources that mix science and storytelling, highlighting the main findings from a large body of relevant research and the lessons learned from organizations that have been bringing people together across group lines.

The Bridging the Divides Writing Fellow will drive the development of this content, in collaboration with the editors of Greater Good. Guided by extensive reporting and research, he or she will write a series of articles exploring whether, how, and under what circumstances people from different groups can better understand and get along with one another. The Fellow will also consult on the development of (and help edit) related content for the initiative—podcast episodes, blog posts, videos produced by NationSwell—and contribute ideas to a large public event and online training that will synthesize many of the key insights developed over the course of the initiative—all intended to help scale up promising efforts to bridge divides.

This is a full­-time (100% time), 18­-month contract position.

Responsibilities

-Writing: Under limited supervision from Greater Good editors, develops and writes the majority of the 24 articles produced for the Bridging the Divides initiative, including a range of features—program profiles, listicles, how-­to pieces. Articles will combine science reporting and storytelling to explore the challenges, opportunities, and key strategies for bridging divides, drawing on lessons from programs and research. Most articles will be written for Greater Good, though some may be tailored to other outlets or platforms.
-Reporting: To inform the articles and other content, independently interviews community leaders, program directors, educators, researchers, and others with insight and experience relevant to building positive cross-group relationships.
-Research Review: In collaboration with a graduate­-level research assistant, collects, interprets, and synthesizes findings from a wide range of disciplines—including psychology, neuroscience, and sociology—in order to identify the most relevant trends, lessons, and story ideas.
-Multimedia Development: Consults with Greater Good editors and outside partners on the development of additional content—including a video series, podcast episodes, and possible book anthology—to ensure it is all guided by the same insights that inform the articles.
-Event & Online Training: Contributes ideas to the development of a large public event and online training that will distill and present the main insights from the initiative. Will not serve as the project manager for either, but will consult on their creation and may have opportunities to present at the event and/or in the training.
-Attends GGSC staff meetings and participates in discussions about the administration and strategic direction of the Bridging the Divides initiative and the GGSC as a whole.

Required Qualifications:

-Bachelors degree in related area and/or equivalent experience/training.
-Exceptional writing and reporting skills, preferably with experience reporting on social science research for non­-academic audiences.
-Comfort reading and interpreting social science findings, particularly from psychological research.
-Ability to meet tight editorial deadlines and produce long-­form as well as shorter, web­-friendly articles.
-Open­-minded approach to contentious social and political issues, with an orientation to try to understand diverse perspectives.
-Strong communication and interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with project partners and GGSC colleagues, both verbally and in writing.

Preferred Qualifications

-Thorough knowledge of relevant scientific research, particularly the psychology of prejudice and cross­-group relationships.
-Familiarity with educational or other organizations focused on promoting constructive cross­-group dialogue and understanding.
-Experience developing and producing video and/or podcast content.
-Familiarity with—and affinity for—the Greater Good Science Center’s mission and programs.
-Ability to work in the GGSC’s Berkeley, California, office and regularly attend meetings in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We’re adding to ProPublica Illinois’ engagement team and looking for someone to help us reach more people with our investigative journalism.

What You’ll Do

Working closely with Engagement Reporter Logan Jaffe, you’ll scheme ways to get ProPublica Illinois’ investigative journalism in front of people in two key ways:

You will help grow ProPublica’s Illinois’ audience, particularly via social media. That means you will be doing smart social journalism — including distribution, social-first content creation and social strategy around project launches.

You will work on investigative projects in collaboration with ProPublica Illinois reporters throughout the full life-cycle of projects, beginning with story conception. You’ll help identify what communities and audiences we need to reach, how we can reach them and the best ways to involve them in our reporting. Then, once a story publishes, you’ll think of ways to share our reporting with them to maximize the impact of our journalism.

This work may be as low-fi as a flier, as buzzy as a tweetstorm, or as structured as a weekly newsletter; whatever means is best for the story, the community and the audience. You’ll also be leveraging our social platforms not merely to promote stories but to publish them. That means creating work like this tweetstorm about a Chicago Police officer’s controversial Facebook post, or this one using visual representations of 911 calls, or writing newsletters that incorporate social reporting into the story.

If you have some combination of any of these skills, we want to hear from you:

You understand the social web and keep your eyes on the latest social and off-site platform trends.
You have experience managing social media accounts (not necessarily for a news organization, but it’s a plus) and have ideas on how to grow them.
You are a good listener — in person, on social media and all around the web. You want to understand what the conversation might be around a particular topic — and then turn that insight into material that brings more people to our work. (See: ProPublica Illinois is Listening).
You are a fluid, creative, smart and distinctive writer who can speak to people on different platforms in the ways they speak to each other.
You have an interest in and opinions about newsletters and are excited to help produce ProPublica Illinois’ weekly newsletter.
Design or multimedia experience? Are you an animated .gif connoisseur? We like all that.
Are you a newshound? We also like that.
You know about SEO.
You have an interest in analytics and metrics, and trying to figure out why people click or don’t click on certain Facebook posts.
And, finally, you are excited to find and reach communities actually impacted by a story, get them to inform our work, and be a central player in the storytelling on all platforms to maximize the resonance of the project.
Oh, and what we care about most is making sure we’re presenting our stories with accuracy and rigor. So, journalism experience, especially involving hard-hitting stories that shed light on injustices, would be a plus.

We expect that great candidates won’t necessarily fit every criteria we’ve described above. And you may also have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.

We are dedicated to improving our newsroom, in part by better reflecting the people we cover. We are committed to diversity and building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages. And we are taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities. (If you’d like to learn a bit about us, see our series of Q&As with members of our newsroom).
