POLITICO

POLITICO Fellowship (EDI0019)

Care about the facts? So do we. Since 2007, POLITICO has been committed to non-partisan journalism. We create products and deliver content of consequence; they have the power to change the course of history by making democracy better through our coverage of politics, policy, and power. As long as those intersect, there will be a need for POLITICO and our stories. That's where you come in.

POLITICO is offering a one-year fellowship to a promising reporter who is committed to developing expertise in political and congressional news coverage.

The fellowship begins in December and lasts one year. The fellowship pays a stipend of at least $30,000 (commensurate with experience) plus benefits, including two weeks' paid vacation. Fellows will receive intensive mentoring and close editing as they report on subjects such as Congress, the administration, national politics, lobbying and finance.
