Deadline: 2 December 2024
The National Press Foundation is now requesting applications for its Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship.
The Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship has introduced rising D.C. reporters to the city they’re assigned to cover. In monthly sessions, fellows learn what it takes to cover the White House, Supreme Court, Congress, Pentagon, Justice Department and other key government institutions.
NPF’s Kevin Johnson brings more than 40 years of reporting experience to his role facilitating the program and building the curriculum. Lawmakers, analysts and top journalists in the business lead discussions on policy, politics and best practices in reporting designed to help fellows thrive on their demanding beats. Equally important: it is an opportunity to network with colleagues to grow personally and professionally.
Eligibility Criteria
- Journalists from any medium and news organization are invited to apply for the 2025 fellowship.
- Over the course of the year, fellows participate in 10 days of intensive, forward-looking education in the capital.
Application Requirements
- You will need:
- A statement of intention, explaining your interest in the program.
- At least two recent samples of your work.
- A letter of support from an editor or supervisor recommending you to the program and acknowledging that they will excuse you from deadline duties on all program days. (If you’re a freelancer, a letter from an editor who has worked with you and is interested in publishing your work.)
- A brief, narrative autobiography.
