Public radio fellowships

Aspiring radio producers, journalists and storytellers without journalism degrees can apply for a US$20,000 fellowship.

Chicago Public Media presents the Pritzker Fellowships, a nine-month program that offers rigorous training in public radio journalism and the opportunity to work alongside some of the nation’s most respected reporters, producers and editors.

Fellows will receive training in basic story production, editing, ethics, audio and video production, writing for the radio and web, on-air skills and web production. Fellows will also a receive a mentor, a senior level journalist or producer who will provide rigorous coaching, critique, hands-on opportunities and special assignments.

Minority candidates are encouraged to apply. The program is open to applicants worldwide, but international applicants must obtain their own visas.

Consideration will be given only to candidates nominated by a community-based nonprofit organization. Applicants can't be enrolled in an academic program throughout the duration of the program - September 2012-May 2013.

The deadline is May 18. For more information, click here.
