The Chronicle of Social Change is looking for a part-time reporting fellow to join our digital news team in New York. Your work will focus on one of the most high-stakes, overlooked functions of government: the child welfare system.

Start date: Between May 15 and June 5
Duration: 6 months, ~4 days/week
Compensation: $2100/month.

The ideal candidate will be as comfortable reading obscure government reports as they are striking up conversations with politicians and advocates after hearings. They will be capable of writing competently and quickly, and identifying and reaching out to primary sources. They are creative, curious, and eager.

The fellowship’s primary responsibilities include pitching ideas and writing stories each week for The Chronicle of Social Change, and preparing a monthly newsletter. There will be some public records request filing, and some proofreading and fact checking. Occasionally, we’ll ask you to help with a statewide justice reporting project, or with planning an event for lawmakers in Albany. Visiting the communities where this system affects the most lives will be an important part of the job, too.

We are seeking someone who likely has 1 to 3 years journalism experience, which can include time spent in a journalism school program. Interest in foster care, the rights of children and parents, and the nonprofit news space is a must.

The Chronicle believes that a diverse newsroom strengthens the quality of our workplace and reporting.

Greenpointers is seeking two reporting fellows for the fall and spring semesters to report news stories relevant to the North Brooklyn neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg.

Under the guidance of the Greenpointers editorial staff at our office space in the historic Pencil Factory building, the reporting fellows will produce one to two reported news stories per week.

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.
