New York Times Fellowship 2027

The New York Times Fellowship is a one-year work program aimed at cultivating the next generation of journalists.

The fellowship represents a unique opportunity to do great journalism for The Times. It incorporates speakers, feedback and training opportunities. The program’s goal is to benefit not only the participants and The Times, but also other newsrooms. We expect most of our fellows will graduate to positions around the country and world.
