A new fellowship program for local journalists

The University of Michigan’s Knight-Wallace Fellowship is getting a sibling program to focus on regional and local news. This fellowship will select two fellows to join the 2020-2021 class.

The selected candidates will work with the entrepreneurship programs in the law and business schools, should be senior leadership of new journalism organizations and projects based in the Midwest, and need to come from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio or Wisconsin.

This new fellowship program will give journalists an opportunity to work with the University of Michigan Law School and Ross School of Business.

Lynette Clemetson, the director of the Wallace House at the University of Michigan, said, “We have tools and resources and the university has tools and resources that could absolutely benefit people who are trying to revitalize news.”
