Nieman-Berkman Fellowship in Journalism Innovation

Typ:

Ausbildungsprogramm, Austauschprogramm

Beschreibung:

The Nieman-Berkman Fellowship in Journalism Innovation will bring one individual to Harvard University for the 2012-13 academic year to work on a specific course of research or a specific project relating to journalism innovation. The fellowship is a collaboration between two parts of Harvard: the Nieman Foundation for Journalism and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Both share a set of common interests around journalism, innovation, and the evolution of the digital space. And both have longstanding fellowship programs that give people a year to learn and collaborate with others in the Harvard community.

Candidates will be asked to propose a specific course of study or project relating to journalism innovation. That proposal could deal with any issue relating to journalism’s digital transformation. Examples might include ideas for new revenue streams to fund journalism, the construction of new tools for reporting, or research into news consumption patterns. The candidate’s application must make it clear how his or her proposal will benefit the field.

Our goal is to identify a candidate who would benefit from the time and resources the fellowship provides, and whose work during the year at Harvard would benefit journalism more broadly.

Voraussetzungen:

The Nieman-Berkman Fellowship is open to both United States citizens and citizens of other countries. Candidates should either be working journalists or work for a news organization. Independent journalist are also welcome to apply.

Leistungen:

International candidates must find financial support from sources outside the Nieman Foundation. The Nieman Foundation will assist International Fellows to secure necessary funds.

Turnus:

Jährlich
