About SJN/MIT Climate Journalism Fellowship
The Solutions Journalism Network (SJN), in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has announced the SJN/MIT Climate Journalism Fellowship for journalists interested in reporting on practical responses to climate change.
The eight-month fellowship will select 10 U.S.-based journalists to produce ambitious, well-researched local stories examining climate solutions and their effects on communities. Selected fellows will receive a $7,500 stipend, science journalism training from MIT, climate-focused training-of-trainers activities and opportunities to share their reporting with wider audiences.
The programme aims to strengthen public understanding of climate change by showing how climate solutions work in real communities, rather than focusing exclusively on environmental disasters and future risks.
Benefits of SJN/MIT Climate Journalism Fellowship
- For this eight-month fellowship, fellows will receive a $7,500 stipend; programming to advance their understanding of climate science, climate and energy policy and economics, climate change communication and public opinion, and other relevant topics; and training and support in framing, researching and writing rigorous stories about climate change solutions using the four pillars of solutions journalism.
SJN/MIT Climate Journalism Fellowship Requirements
- The fellowship is seeking journalists based in the United States who are interested in producing rigorous local reporting on climate solutions.
- Importantly, previous experience in climate or environmental journalism is valued but is not a requirement. Journalists working in other beats or specialties are welcome to apply if they want to incorporate climate solutions into their reporting.
- Find Grants
- This means journalists covering areas such as local government, business, agriculture, energy, health or community affairs may find the programme relevant, provided they meet the official eligibility criteria.
- Applicants should demonstrate an interest in reporting that is grounded in research and the experiences of communities where climate solutions are being implemented.
- The announcement provided does not specify additional requirements relating to professional experience, employment status or citizenship. Prospective applicants should review the official application guidelines to confirm these details before applying.
