Job Description:

The Allbritton Journalism Institute is now accepting applications for its 2025-2027 class of reporting fellows. Every September, AJI — a nonprofit organization backed by a $20 million grant from Robert Allbritton, the founding publisher of Politico — welcomes a cohort of early-career reporters to D.C. for a two-year fellowship. Fellows are paid $60,000 per year to take classes with some of the country’s best journalists and to write for NOTUS, a nonpartisan publication covering government, policy and politics. Current fellows cover the Trump administration, Capitol Hill, foreign policy and other topics connected to national politics. Teaching faculty include Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, DeNeen Brown of The Washington Post, Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, Cheryl Thompson of NPR and Pulitzer winner Wesley Lowery. The application is due February 19.

Job Requirements:

We are looking for applicants who are enthusiastic about pursuing a career in journalism; who have a keen interest in policy and politics; and who believe journalism can and should play a critical role in our democracy. Some fellows may be just out of school; others may be looking for a career transition; still others may be working journalists who are early in their careers. A passion for journalism is a prerequisite, but actual journalistic experience is not.
