The Fellowship is a two-year program focusing on journalism in a changing digital world. This program consists of two 12-month rotations at our top metro papers – San Francisco, Houston, San Antonio, Albany, and one of our papers in Connecticut. Fellows will receive training, mentoring and real-world experience alongside top journalists who are using cutting-edge tools to tell stories through data, video, and more. Hearst Fellows are full-time employees with competitive salary and benefits, including health insurance, relocation allowance and housing stipend depending on location.
What it could mean for your future
The goal of the program, if successfully completed by the Fellow, is to be offered a job at the end of the two years.
While participation in the program is not a guarantee of future employment, our goal is to recruit candidates who eventually will join our full-time professional staff. All of us at Hearst Fellowships have an investment in your future and in the future of Hearst Newspapers.
Hearst Fellowships jump-start great journalism careers
The experience you gain as a Hearst Fellow is the start of a strong foundation for your journalism career. Our objective is to recruit, train and retain a variety of journalists, including digital developers and reporters. We identify and develop high-caliber multimedia professionals from a diverse pool of the country’s best journalists. Candidates should be college graduates with interest, experience or background in journalism or related fields. Those selected will have the opportunity to grow in one of the world’s best journalism organizations.
How Fellows are selected A panel of Hearst’s top editors will review applications and select finalists.
Candidates will submit in a writing test and finalists will be interviewed in February.
Professional assistance to ensure your best chance of success
If you are offered and accept a position, you will be assigned a mentor and can develop professional relationships with seasoned journalists throughout Hearst Newspapers. Your mentor will be a peer with expertise in your area of interest and will help you set and reach career goals. You will work with them alongside your direct supervisor, who will design your formal development plan.
