Allbritton Journalism Institute seeks fellows

The Allbritton Journalism Institute is now accepting applications for its Class of 2024-2026.

Every September, AJI — a non-profit organization backed by a $20 million grant from Robert Allbritton, the founding publisher of Politico — welcomes a cohort of 10 early-career reporters to D.C. for a two-year fellowship.

Fellows are paid $60,000 per year to take classes with some of the country’s best journalists and to write for NOTUS, a new, non-partisan publication covering government, policy and politics.

Faculty include Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, DeNeen Brown and Josh Dawsey of The Washington Post, and Pulitzer winner Wesley Lowery.

The application can be found here. It is due March 4.
