Your Role:

Do you want to work with a team of high-powered journalists who are making an impact on education policy nationwide? Are you interested in learning about investigative reporting, long-form storytelling and data-driven journalism? If so, this yearlong fellowship is for you.

You’ll have an opportunity to work with the team behind the groundbreaking podcast Sold a Story. You will continue the reporting in Sold a Story’s award-winning first season while also helping to craft Season 2.

During this fellowship, you’ll learn what it takes to produce a narrative, investigative podcast that features compelling characters and a strong sense of place. You’ll also contribute to digital storytelling, both on the web and on social media.
