The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) engages journalism professionals, organizations, scholars and communities in programs, tools, resources and workshops aimed at strengthening community-centered journalism through practical innovation.
The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute invites proposals from individuals and organizations who wish to partner with us on practical innovative projects for community-centered news. Chosen projects often include devising new strategies or models to solve a problem, building new tools, creating a training workshop/program or building resources for journalists. All fellowship projects are built and implemented within the span of the 8-month fellowship.
The final product of your fellowship must be a resource that journalists and newsrooms can utilize - whether it's a guide, toolkit, platform, workshop or tool.

This residential fellowship is for an individual who wants to spend a year at RJI to create a resource to help newsrooms and journalists. The fellow will collaborate with RJI staff, students and faculty on-site at our institute in Columbia, Missouri. They will get a monthly living stipend and have access to $100,000 in funding through the institute for project expenses. The end product will be a free, accessible and equitable resource that has been piloted across the country in community-centered newsrooms before the end of the fellowship.
