Fellowships

Each year the Shorenstein Center fellowship brings together a cohort of about 20 leaders working at the intersection of media, technology, politics, and public policy. This virtual, self-directed fellowship is designed for practitioners and scholars who are eager to deepen their thinking, test ideas, and engage with a dynamic intellectual community.

Each fellow pursues an independent project or line of inquiry throughout the one-year fellowship term, supported by regular opportunities to connect with other fellows, Shorenstein Center faculty, staff, and members of our broader research community.

During the fellowship, participants produce short-form public pieces—such as op-eds or stories—which the Center supports in shaping, publishing, and promoting. Fellows leave with a broader network, sharper insights, and a lasting connection to a vibrant research community committed to strengthening the information ecosystem.
