John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships program open for applications for the 2011-12 academic year
The John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships is a program for accomplished journalists and journalism entrepreneurs who spend an academic year at Stanford. Each year, 12 U.S. and eight international journalists are selected to work on a proposal of their choice and use Stanford’s and Silicon Valley’s many resources to improve journalism. The program’s new emphasis is on innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership.
Ideally, candidates will have at least five years of professional experience. Fellows receive a stipend of $60,000, plus Stanford tuition and supplements for moving expenses, health insurance, books, housing and child care. All program activities and most classes are open to spouses and partners of Fellows.
The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2010, for international applicants and Feb. 1, 2011, for U.S. applicants. For more information, click here.
