The heart of our work as journalists is to explore stories that inspire impact and help us understand each other better. We’re looking for our first newsroom fellow-- someone who has a passion for telling distinctive stories and amplifying community voices.

As our fellow, you should bring a life experience or background that contributes to a broader understanding of underrepresented communities and informs VPR’s news coverage. You will gain experience in reporting, editing, interviewing, storytelling and digital production. Our fellowship will also help you build a network within the public media industry.

You must love the medium of audio journalism, but you don’t need direct broadcast or reporting experience. You just need a demonstrated interest in journalism or communications and a commitment to covering critical issues in the state with authenticity, fairness and transparency.
