Use Journalism To Shape The Public Discussions You Care About Most.

Join us part-time, while working, from
anywhere in the world
Our fellows are different from typical journalism students
Subject-matter specialization, in any speciality.
Please apply only if you already have knowledge of a specialty you wish to report on. That could mean graduate or professional training, work experience or lived experience. If in doubt, please send us your application anyway.
These personal qualities are more important than journalism experience
A hunger to discover new stories, the humility of an open mind, intellectual rigour, excitement about the world, reliability, and a learning mindset.
You can keep
working full-time.
You don’t have to give up your job or take a leave to join this program.
You can
be anywhere.
The Fellowship is fully hybrid, you can have the full experience of classes, mentorship sessions, and reporting experience from wherever you want to be.
Learning Through Real Work, Right Away
We’re massively focused on mentorship, real-world work and fast impact. Unlike normal j-schools, we mentor you as you actually cover your own specialty for media around the world. You’ll graduate with experience shaping the public discussion …and however you use those new tools, we’ll keep coaching you for two years after you’re done.
Meet Our Media Partners
Every week, we’ll pitch your story ideas to our partners across Canada, the US and the UK.
Media around the world have published more than 1000 stories by fellows before they’d even graduated.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Please join Fellowship Director Robert Steiner for a videoconference open house, which you can attend from anywhere.
We’ll explain how the certificate works and how this unique approach to journalism training can help you shape the public discussion about the most important issues in your field.
