Reporting Fellow, Allbritton Journalism Institute

November 27, 2024

The Allbritton Journalism Institute — a nonprofit organization backed by a $20 million grant from Robert Allbritton, the founding publisher of Politico — is now accepting applications for its 2025-2027 class of fellows. AJI offers $60,000 annual stipends to aspiring or early-career reporters to spend up to two years in Washington studying journalism and writing for NOTUS, a nonpartisan publication covering government, policy and politics.

The fellowship will begin in September 2025 with a four-week immersion course in D.C. reporting. After four weeks, fellows will balance ongoing classwork with hands-on experience: reporting and writing stories for NOTUS while honing their skills through seminars and staff mentorship.

Our first class of fellows arrived in D.C. in September 2023, and our second class arrived this past September. Current fellows cover the incoming Trump administration, Capitol Hill, foreign policy and other topics connected to national politics. The Institute’s teaching faculty includes Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, DeNeen Brown and Josh Dawsey of The Washington Post, Cheryl Thompson of NPR, Pulitzer winner Wesley Lowery and many other veteran Washington journalists.

Apply for the fellowship here. Applications are due February 19, 2025.
