“New America invests in thinkers — journalists, scholars, filmmakers and public policy analysts — who generate big, bold ideas that have an impact and spark new conversations about the most pressing issues of our day.

“In an age where journalism is dominated by the 24-7 news cycle, and academia is becoming ever more esoteric, our fellowships provide opportunities for talented individuals who need support to pursue more ambitious endeavors. Books. Films. Photo essays. Longform storytelling. Policy projects. Work that gets to broad audiences and changes the way we think. Voices that represent the diverse backgrounds and ideologies of the American community.”

“Fellowships begin in September and run through May annually. $15,000-$30,000 stipend provided and you may stay in your current job, coming together for two cohort gatherings during the fellowship year, each lasting two-three days and held in Washington, DC.”
