Knight Foundation and Mozilla are offering International fellowship
for OpenNews Project in six news organizations around the world.
The Knight-Mozilla Fellowship program is designed specifically to engage
developers, hackers, engineers, technologists, data crunchers, and
other people who like to code and bring them into the newsroom as
Fellows. The fellowship covers stipend of $60, 000, housing, childcare,
health insurance, moving expenses, costs of required travel for
fellowship activities.
About Scholarship: Knight-Mozilla Fellows share the work they’re doing with the world outside of the newsroom. By blogging their experiences, pushing code to open repositories, taking part in the Open News community calls, and engaging with other developers, our Fellows are helping to spread the code they’re making and strengthen the journalism-developer community. And given that news is such a large part of the web, the open work of the Fellows contributes to a more transparent, open, and accessible web. Fellows are based, unless special circumstances dictate, in the town of their host news organization. In 2014, the Fellows will be based with:
•The New York Times
•ProPublica in New York
•The Texas Tribune in Austin, Texas
•La Nacion in Buenos Aires
•and a joint fellowship with Ushahidi and Internews Kenya
Study: The fellowship is awarded in media and journalism. Fellows work in the open by sharing their code and their discoveries, helping to strengthen and build journalism’s toolbox.
Course Level: Knight Foundation offers 10 months fellowship with six news organizations around the world.
