The Pulitzer Center’s StoryReach U.S. reporting and engagement lab seeks newsroom partners who value collaboration and audience engagement as much as powerful enterprise reporting. This is a chance to innovate with your peers and the Center’s team on high-impact projects that combine breakthrough reporting and effective public outreach.
The Pulitzer Center is now accepting applications for its new StoryReach U.S. lab. The yearlong Fellowship opportunity is a chance for forward-thinking journalists and local and regional newsrooms to collaborate with peers and the Center’s staff to unlock the full potential of storytelling and innovative audience reach.
The initiative is a response to the challenges facing local and regional outlets across the United States, including the rise in misinformation and erosion of trust in media. At the same time, we are inspired by so many local outlets that are placing audiences at the center of their editorial strategies and finding creative ways to engage with them beyond publication and political bubbles.
Applicants with ideas for reporting projects related to these topics are strongly encouraged to apply.
The 12-month, part-time Fellowship will provide journalists with up to $30,000 to pursue their reporting project and innovative engagement activities that expand the reach and impact of their reporting. In addition, Fellows will have access to data and research support and training with a group of peers that will help strengthen their reporting projects and related engagement activities.
Successful applicants will be expected to join a mandatory, 90-minute meeting held every month and to engage with other Fellows in virtual meetings and on the community’s dedicated online platform.
