Deadline approaching for McGraw Fellowship in Business Journalism

The deadline is approaching for fall applications for The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism, a new initiative of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism designed to support ambitious coverage of critical issues related to U.S. business and the economy.

The Fellowships provide up to $15,000 to  experienced journalists to do the deep reporting needed to produce a distinguished investigative, enterprise or narrative business story.

Here are the details:

  • Each Fellow receives $5,000 a month for up to three months
  • Open to both freelance and staff journalists with five years experience
  • No residency required; McGraw Fellows work from their own offices
  • The McGraw Center provides editorial support and help with placement where needed

McGraw Fellowships are awarded twice a year, in spring and fall. The upcoming deadline to apply is Dec. 15, 2014. For further information and the online application, please go to www.mcgrawcenter.org or contact Jane Sasseen, executive director of the McGraw Center for Business Journalism at jane.sasseen@journalism.cuny.edu.
