Supported annually since 2014 by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, each fellow will receive a free conference registration to ONA22 and a one-year ONA membership.
Fellows will work closely with lead mentor Michael Grant, Founder of Get Current Studio. They work with mentors to produce multimedia packages for the conference and be immersed in intensive digital journalism training.
The fellowship is centered on a highly-engaged conference experience for students, with a focus on the evolving nature of online journalism.
