JournalismAI Fellowship Programme

Using AI to make journalism better. Together.

The JournalismAI Fellowship Programme is a free online initiative that brings together journalists and technologists from media organizations worldwide to explore innovative solutions to improve journalism via the use of AI technologies. 

Applications are now open for the 2023 cohort!

Up to 30 journalists and technologists will be selected to join the 2023 Fellowship cohort and work together over the course of six months (June to December) towards building AI-powered solutions that enhance reporting.

We invite applications from candidates working in news organizations anywhere in the world (although if you are outside of GMT-6 and GMT+8, it will be logistically challenging to participate fully).

To take part in the program, you need to have some experience working on products and/or stories that involve the use of AI technologies.

We’ve designed the program so that fellows keep their jobs while they dedicate 8 hours a week to the Fellowship. Teams will be given financial support for project expenses, as well as mentorship and coaching from experts in the JournalismAI community. 

Since collaboration is at the heart of all JournalismAI activities, our Fellowship Programme includes a collaborative component too – on a double level:

• Rather than individual fellows, we invite pairs of colleagues from the same organization to apply (one person with an editorial/strategic role and the other one with a technical role).
• Then, after the initial application, each pair will have to find another pair from a different organization to form a team that will work on the same project.

The deadline for initial applications is Friday, 21 April 2023 at 11:59 PM GMT
