JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIPS & NETWORKS
Through its yearlong fellowships, the Pulitzer Center brings together cohorts of reporters pursuing ambitious in-depth and investigative stories. The Fellowships emphasize collaborative, cross-border, and transdiscipline reporting. Fellows receive funding, training, and the support of dedicated editors from the Center’s Data & Research Unit. Our Engagement team helps the Fellows amplify their stories, engage with their audience, and measure impact.
