The Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) Residential Fellowship is a program designed to foster innovation in journalism, with a particular emphasis on community-centered news. It provides a structured environment for fellows to develop projects that address the evolving needs of journalists and the communities they serve. The fellowship is hosted at RJI, located at the University of Missouri, and is open to individuals and organizations from the US and globally. The fellowship supports the creation of practical resources—tools, methodologies, or frameworks—that can be adopted by news organizations to enhance community engagement and journalistic practice. While the exact duration and financial terms are not specified in the provided information, the residential nature implies a period of immersion and collaboration. Fellows are expected to work on-site, leveraging the resources and expertise of RJI and its network. The curatorial vision of the fellowship is rooted in applied innovation: projects should be actionable and scalable, with a clear pathway to benefit community journalism. RJI seeks proposals that demonstrate a deep understanding of the challenges facing local news and offer creative, sustainable solutions. The fellowship is not merely a grant but a partnership, offering fellows the opportunity to test and refine their ideas within a supportive academic and professional community.
