To combat this, the National Press Foundation’s Widening the Pipeline Fellowship will provide expenses-paid trainings in Washington, D.C., as well as virtual workshops to support journalists of color staying in – and leading – the newsrooms of tomorrow.

State: All States
County: All Counties

The foundation will cover airfare, hotel, transportation to the airport and most meals for the two in-person trainings in Washington, D.C., held in February and December 2024, each of which will not exceed four days in length.
