CUNY’s McGraw Center seeks fellowship applicants

The McGraw Center for Business Journalism at the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism offers a fellowship program to support in-depth coverage of business and the global economy.

The fellowship provides editorial and financial support to journalists who need the time and resources to tackle complex, time-consuming stories.

The program is accepting applications for longform print or radio pieces. Fellows will receive grants of US$5,000 a month for one to three months.

Freelance journalists as well as reporters and editors working at news organizations may apply. International journalists are also eligible as long as their reporting is completed in English and targeted to a U.S. media outlet and audience.

The application deadline is Nov. 30.
