Powerful Stories. Digital Journalism. Want to step away from the daily deadlines and learn new ways to tell powerful visual stories? By combining the best of public affairs reporting with the latest in technology, the Kiplinger Program gives journalists the time and training needed to report and produce in-depth multimedia projects. We offer two types of fellowships designed to help mid-career journalists thrive in the online world — Kiplinger Fellows and Knight Digital Media and Public Affairs Fellows. The 24-week programs begin with digital media training, including hands-on practice in audio/video production, podcasting, slide shows, photography and Web design. Fellows also receive coaching from award-winning journalists and multimedia experts. In addition, they can take university courses to delve deeper into their beats or learn advanced skills in multimedia production. The fellowships, based at the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University, offer a $20,000 stipend plus excellent benefits, including tuition.
