our FELLOWSHIPS

Announcing new two-year, full-time fellowships for women journalists around the world.

In addition to our signature reporter-in-residence opportunity, we’re adding new topical reporting fellowships for local women journalists in the world’s most challenging places.

Global Press reporting fellows work in a global team to produce revelatory journalism and photojournalism, while also taking part in a robust learning program designed to ensure fellows are powerful contributors to the most pressing global conversations.

A one-of-a-kind experience.

For the last 18 years, our investigative and explanatory journalism has served an audience of local and international changemakers. Achieving this requires that Global Press journalists work and live in some of the world's most challenging places. 

Our new, two-year topical reporting fellowships for women journalists offer valuable experience reporting for Global Press through cross-border collaborations, revelatory investigations and ambitious explanatory news projects. Fellows also participate in  learning programming that includes advanced skills training, a speaker series, mentorship, professional development and so much more.
