Journo Resources Limited is hiring: Tarbell AI Journalism Fellowship, Tarbell Ce

The Tarbell Fellowship is a 12-month program for early and mid-career journalists covering artificial intelligence. Fellows receive training, mentorship, and a funded 9-month newsroom placement at leading outlets such as The Guardian, Bloomberg, Time magazine, and NBC News. The program includes 10 weeks of AI journalism training, a weeklong summit in the San Francisco Bay Area, and stipends of $60,000–$110,000 , depending on experience and location. The program incorporates expert speakers, feedback and mentorship from experienced journalists, and networking events with leading AI reporters. Upon completion of the fellowship, we expect fellows to bring their AI knowledge to major newsrooms and publications around the globe. Why Journalism will play a crucial role as society navigates the development and deployment of advanced AI. Tarbell is committed to supporting independent journalism that demystifies the debates around this technology, holds the companies and people building it accountable, and fosters the discourse necessary to chart a path that benefits society. As AI models grow more sophisticated, many experts fear they could aid terrorists in unleashing new pandemics, empower malicious actors to carry out devastating cyberattacks, or further enable authoritarian regimes to tighten their grip on society. With the Tarbell Fellowship, we’re creating a community of expert journalists to lead the public debate on AI and hold major AI labs accountable to society.
