News Creator Corps is currently accepting applications for its Rural Creator Fellowship 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
The Rural Creator Fellowship trains trusted local voices in the fact-checking skills they need to be reliable sources of accurate information for their communities. More than 3,500 local news outlets have closed in the past two decades. In rural America, that loss is acute communities where the only local paper closed years ago, school board meetings with no one covering them, public health crises with no local reporter on the beat. When accurate information disappears, misinformation moves in. The Rural Creator Fellowship exists to change that.
