Public Health Reporting Fellowship

The National Press Club Journalism Institute and the Common Health Coalition offer "a six-month, fully remote opportunity designed to give experienced journalists the time, resources, and expert support needed to tackle the most pressing public health issues of our time. Open to U.S.-based newsroom and independent journalists with 10 or more years of professional experience, the fellowship supports ambitious, in-depth reporting on critical community, regional, state, or national public health challenges at a moment when accurate, trustworthy journalism is more essential than ever. Up to five mid-career journalists will be selected to receive fellowship awards of up to $7,500 each to fund substantial reporting projects across formats, including print, digital, audio, visual, and broadcast." The deadline to apply for the six-month program is Feb. 16, 2026.
