“From the Los Angeles wildfires to Hurricane Helene, we live in an era of mega-disasters and other climate change effects that have enormous implications for health and well-being. The Health and Climate Change Reporting Fellowship supports ambitious investigative or explanatory projects about health in the context of wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, extreme heat and other disastrous impacts of climate change.

“Offered by USC Annenberg’s Center for Health Journalism and Center for Climate Journalism and Communication, we encourage reporting that focuses on physical health, mental health or both, with an eye on the systemic inequities that worsen the impact of disasters and delay recovery.”
