The Carter Center in Atlanta, GA provides six one-year fellowships for journalists to report on a selected topic regarding mental health or mental illnesses. The Fellowships are designed to increase accurate reporting on mental health issues and decrease incorrect, stereotypical information. Each journalist awarded will receive a $10,000 stipend. Applicants must have at least three years of professional journalism experience, submit an online application, and attend orientation and presentation meetings in September at the beginning and end of the Fellowship year. Fellows will NOT be required to leave their current employment.
