Solution Journalism Network LEDE Fellowship 2022 -a yearlong opportunity for journalists ($3,500 honorarium)

Application Deadline: October 17th, 2021 

For the third year running, the Solutions Journalism Network is seeking proposals from journalists who are leading or want to lead a project that will produce solutions journalism stories — and take others with them to spread the approach. The LEDE Fellowship is a year-long opportunity for journalists to conceptualize and execute such projects alongside other entrepreneurs committed to extending the reach of solutions journalism and becoming the face of its future.

Requirements

Ability to execute a project that accelerates the spread of solutions journalism in a community;
Commitment to the spirit of “all-teach, all-learn,” capacity to seek out expertise (and offer your own) among peers and constituents;
Entrepreneurship, with an inclination to collaborate and “take others with you”;
Diversity of identity, geography, experience and role;
Deep understanding of journalism and its current challenges;
Passion, enthusiasm and curiosity.

Benefits

All fellows are eligible to receive up to $3,500 in unrestricted funding to support their projects.

Each fellow receives half the stipend at the start of the fellowship. At the six-month mark, following an assessment of the project’s progress by the fellow and the project manager, fellows who are on track toward fulfilling their goals will receive the remainder of their stipend.
