The SJN/MIT Climate Journalism Fellowship will support 10 freelance and staff journalists associated with U.S. local/regional newsrooms in developing high-impact news projects that report on unfolding climate change impacts and solutions in their areas, relating these issues to the concerns and values of their regions and communities. Successful fellowship projects will interrogate how climate change affects issues of high local concern—for example, cost of living, healthcare, energy, housing, agriculture, or weather resilience—while grounding that reporting in local solutions, perspectives, and experiences. <div><br></div><div>Over eight months from January-August 2027, selected fellows will report and publish at least four stories focused on climate change impacts and solutions with support from SJN and MIT and participate in training workshops and other peer learning opportunities. Fellows will receive a stipend to support their reporting and participation in all programming. 

Applicants from communities or regions of the United States where climate change is underreported and/or polarizing are strongly encouraged to apply.
