The New York Times has named 27 early career journalists to its fifth and latest fellowship class. For the complete list of fellows and their head shots, visit here.
The following was sent out from The New York Times’ Ted Kim, Carla Correa and Monica Drake:
We are pleased to announce the members of the fifth New York Times Fellowship class. This group of talented journalists, selected from a candidate pool of thousands, will arrive in our newsroom in June.
The incoming fellows are joining The Times as it continues to expand and evolve its suite of programs designed to develop journalism’s next generation, and to diversify the industry at large. For an entire year, the fellows will learn together and work full time as reporters, photographers, visual artists, audio producers, and graphics, audience, opinion and video editors.
The fellows will work in our New York, Washington, San Francisco, Chicago and London offices.
Later this spring, we’ll announce the fellows who will be working on our Business, International and Visual Investigations desks.
Also, the newsroom’s third Disability Journalism Fellow and an internal fellowship hire will join the cohort. The Times created the Disability Journalism Fellow position in partnership with the National Center on Disability and Journalism at Arizona State University. It is funded by philanthropic support. Applications will be accepted until March 24.
The energy, drive and talent of the 124 current and previous Times fellows has helped propel our news report and those of media organizations across the world. These journalists have covered some of the biggest news events in recent years, and some have even shared in Pulitzer Prizes. Our current class departs in late May.
The fellowship is a key part of The Times’s commitment to up-and-coming journalists. The Local Investigations Fellowship, launched last year and led by the former Times executive editor Dean Baquet, offers early career reporters an opportunity to tackle an investigative project in their community.
The New York Times Editing Residency, established in 2021, provides rigorous training and support for aspiring editors. The Times Corps, created the following year, is a one-of-a-kind talent pipeline program for college students from underrepresented groups in the field.
Ted, Carla and Monica
