The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) is excited to open applications for established journalists who are committed to developing innovative media projects or programs in or for their home countries.
The fellowships are made possible by the longtime support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The one-year fellowship program nurtures groundbreaking media projects that address challenges in the fellows’ home regions and helps share those innovations internationally. In 2024, the ICFJ Knight Fellows will include one or two U.S.-based fellows to focus on the intersection of international and U.S. information needs.

The fellowship also includes opportunities for training and international exposure, ensuring that the fellow can make a substantial impact in their local media environment and sustain the project beyond the fellowship period.
