2023-24 FELLOWS
Our student fellowship program welcomes dedicated UW–Madison journalists with a strong interest in creating a more ethical future for media. Over the course of one or two semesters, fellows work under the mentorship of our director, advisory board and administrator, to produce original reporting on the critical ethical issues of our time. Fellows have gone on to careers in journalism, public relations, the arts and academia.
We will begin recruiting for our 2023-24 class of fellows the week of August 21, 2023. Any UW–Madison student is eligible to apply. Questions? Please email Center administrator Krista Eastman at krista.eastman@wisc.edu.
