The news fellows will work 40 hours per week, with the potential to cover a range of politics, business, criminal justice, features and other news. Evening and weekend shifts will be required.

Recent graduates and college juniors, seniors and graduate students enrolled in a journalism or related degree program as of Nov. 1, 2025, are eligible.
Previous journalism experience via internships and/or your college newspaper is required.
You need to be committed to a career in journalism. You must have reliable transportation and arrange for your own housing. We are an equal opportunity employer that values diversity among its journalism fellows.
What's the deadline for this fellowship application?
Applications must be submitted by Dec. 15, 2025, but they will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so candidates are encouraged to apply sooner rather than later.
When should I be there?
The 10-week fellowship can start anytime between mid-May - if you want to cover the mayhem that is the Indy 500 audience - and mid-June.
How do I apply?
