DEADLINE: NPF "Widening the Pipeline" Fellowship

U.S. journalism has an ongoing diversity crisis. There simply are not enough reporters and editors of color to inform, engage and accurately reflect our society.

To combat this, the National Press Foundation’s 12-month Widening the Pipeline Fellowship will provide a training in Washington, D.C., as well as virtual workshops to support journalists of color staying in — and leading — the newsrooms of tomorrow.

NPF welcomes U.S.-based journalists from any medium with seven years or less of professional newsroom experience to participate in this career-defining cohort.

This competitive fellowship is open to U.S.-based reporters and editors working in print, television, radio or online media. We greatly value diversity in all our programs and applicants from across the nation are encouraged to apply. Through its John C. and Ethel C. Eklund Scholarship Fund, the foundation will cover airfare and hotel for one in-person training in Washington, D.C., held in March 2026.

Deadline: Dec 14, 2025
