News Fellowship
Apply to Host a Report for Washington Fellow
Applications are open for Washington newsrooms to participate in the newly restructured WSU Murrow Fellows/Report for Washington program, a partnership between WSU and Report for America aimed at strengthening local journalism statewide. The initiative seeks to place reporters in communities for two to three years, with an eventual goal of ensuring strong civic reporting in all 39 counties. Thirteen newsrooms will be selected to host fellows in 2027, 13 in 2028 and the final 13 in 2029. Participating newsrooms will employ the reporters, with partial salary support provided through the program. Newsrooms also will receive business sustainability coaching focused on growing subscriptions and donations. Learn more about the program and access the application. Deadline is July 1.
