The SPJ Freelance Fellowship
The SPJ Freelance Fellowship will support at least two independent journalists attending SPJ's annual conference, MediaFest22, convening Oct. 27-30 to bring together professional journalists, journalism students and college media advisers.
The fellowship will provide:
- One convention registration
- $250 stipend
- $500 supplement for travel and lodging for those attending in person from outside the D.C. area
- One ticket to the SPJ President's Installation Banquet
Fellows will be mentored at the conference by members of the SPJ Freelance Community, who will help them network with attendees, choose sessions to attend, and get involved in SPJ groups and programs they are interested in.
SPJ members with a demonstrated commitment to freelance journalism are encouraged to apply. Selections will be based on need, merit and the applicant’s contributions to the Freelance Community and/or SPJ.
The deadline to apply is September 25, and fellows will be announced September 30, 2022. Please contact spjfreelancecommunity@gmail.com with any questions.
The SPJ Freelance Fellowship is supported by the SPJ Foundation Freelance Fund.
