Overview
The Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) Nonresidential Fellowship supports individuals and organizations in creating innovative resources that serve community-centered news, journalists, and the communities they cover. This fellowship is designed for those who wish to build tools, platforms, or methodologies that address the evolving needs of local journalism. The program is nonresidential, allowing fellows to work from their own locations while engaging with RJI's network and resources. While specific details regarding the fellowship term, funding, and deliverables are not provided in the available information, the call emphasizes practical innovation. Fellows are expected to produce tangible outcomes that can be adopted by news organizations and communities. The fellowship is open to applicants in the US and globally, reflecting a commitment to diverse perspectives and cross-border challenges in journalism. The curatorial vision centers on community-centered news, a field that requires deep understanding of local contexts and collaborative approaches. RJI seeks proposals that are not only innovative but also feasible and impactful. The nonresidential nature of the fellowship suggests a focus on independent work and self-direction, with the institute providing support and validation rather than daily oversight.
