The Chips Quinn Scholars Program for Diversity in Journalism has selected 13 fellows from across the United States for this year’s early career mentorship program, provided by the Freedom Forum. Many of the fellows are local journalists working in a variety of roles, beats and mediums. This cohort embodies the emerging talent that the journalism industry must strive to retain.

This is an opportunity for fellows to access relationships and training that will enrich their careers as they advance within the industry.

Here are this year’s fellows:

Fellows were nominated by several industry organizations that have partnered with the Freedom Forum, including Journalism Funding Partners, NPR’s Next Generation Radio, the Public Media Journalists Association, Report for America, The Marshall Project, The Texas Tribune, USA TODAY, and WABE. All program expenses are covered by the Freedom Forum, and fellows and mentors each receive a $2,000 stipend.

The fellowship program kicks off this month with an in-person training event in Washington, D.C., where fellows will attend sessions on various power skills.
