The
Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism at Ohio State University is
looking for innovative journalists who want to use social media to build a
stronger following, develop new sources and better cover their beats.
The fellowship also aims to sharpen your
digital media public-affairs reporting skills, helping you hold government and
institutions accountable. We'll talk Twitter, Deep Web searches, crowdsourcing,
public records, spreadsheets and online data visualization.
To apply,
journalists must have five or more years of experience at a news organization.
All fellowship sessions are conducted in English without translators.
The fellowship runs from Sunday, April 6, through Friday, April 11, 2014 in Columbus, Ohio.
All of the workshop
sessions are provided at no charge. In addition, we provide lodging, pay a travel
stipend to help defray transportation costs, and provide several meals.
Applications
are due by Nov. 30, 2013.
