2015 Kiplinger Journalism Fellowship

The Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism is accepting applications for its 2015 fellowship.

Print, broadcast and online journalists with at least five years’ experience in the field are eligible to apply.

Fellows will spend a week at Ohio State University, USA, for intensive training in creative reporting using online data tools and social media; public affairs reporting; and backgrounding individuals and companies and building online following.

Interested applicants must apply online at the Kiplinger Fellowship 2015 application link. The application requires a bio; a short explanation of how the Kiplinger Fellowship would benefit them and their news organizations; links to three recent stories.

The deadline for applications is October 30.
