In 2018, ICFJ will recruit five full-time Fellows to work in newsrooms in some of the most populous nations: Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and the United States. Modeled on the ICFJ Knight Fellowships program, TruthBuzz will embed experts in newsrooms to help reporters adopt compelling storytelling methods that improve the reach and impact of fact-checking and help “inoculate” audiences against false or misleading information. You can read more about the TruthBuzz Fellowship here. Please note, we will only accept applications submitted here.
We’re looking for applicants with a track-record of success leading innovative projects in newsrooms. The Fellowship is open to English-speaking media professionals already working in one of the target countries. It is a full-time, six month fellowship. You can read more about preferred qualifications and a Fellow FAQ here. The deadline to apply is Sunday, April 29, 2018.
All the very best!
