Women are increasingly driving the debate on the seminal issues facing state legislatures across the country.
Women legislators are at the forefront of efforts to find bipartisan solutions on issues ranging from health care, education and public safety to immigration, election security and LGBTQ rights. And yet, they face harassment and obstacles in campaigning, fundraising and serving in office not experienced by their male counterparts.
For journalists, the expanding role of women lawmakers will be central to the coverage of policy and politics in a jam-packed 2024 election year. To help add depth and crucial context to that reporting, the National Press Foundation will hold a four-day training fellowship in Washington, D.C., April 15-18.
Selected journalists will hear from expert speakers and instructors. NPF offers this professional development opportunity for journalists to enhance skills, increase knowledge and recharge their reporting. The foundation will cover airfare, hotel costs and most meals.
Criteria
- This is a competitive program open to U.S. journalists only.
- The foundation seeks applications from journalists of color, those reporting for marginalized communities and reporters for local and nonprofit news organizations.
