The Tarbell Fellowship is a one-year program for early-career journalists interested in covering artificial intelligence.

Fellows secure a nine-month placement at a major newsroom, participate in an 10-week study group covering AI governance and technical fundamentals, and attend a week-long journalism summit in San Francisco. The Tarbell Fellowship provides a stipend of $50,000 to support these placements. 

The program incorporates expert speakers, feedback and mentorship from experienced journalists and networking events with experts from leading AI organisations.

Upon graduation, we expect fellows to bring their impact-focused perspective to major newsrooms and publications around the globe.

Placement outlets for 2025 include The Guardian, MIT Tech Review, Bloomberg, TIME, and more.

We have placements available in multiple cities around the world including London, Brussels, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington DC.
