Applications are now open for Grist’s first Community Reporting Fellowship: a paid six-week remote program for Georgia residents to learn journalism principles and news reporting skills to help meet their communities’ information needs.
The first group of four people will focus on creating journalism that informs people about the Georgia Public Service Commission, the small but powerful elected board that makes critical decisions about energy and electricity — and is mired in a voting rights lawsuit. This community is part of a larger project by Grist and Atlanta’s NPR affiliate, WABE, to demystify energy policy and affordability issues in the state.
Georgia residents interested in the program can apply here by April 22. The fellowship will start the first week of May. Fellows will be paid $2,000 each, which includes payment for their time in the program and a stipend for supplies and/or travel needed during the six weeks.
