Journalism entrepreneurship fellowships open

Deadline:

11/1/11

Journalism professors can apply for a fellowship.

The Scripps Howard Foundation and the Cronkite School are offering fellowships to journalism professors who are interested in introducing entrepreneurial concepts and practices into their teaching of journalism.

The program is limited to 12 fellows, who will be competitively selected. Training, transportation, lodging, materials and most meals will be provided through the fellowship. Fluency in new media is preferred but not required.

Dan Gillmor, director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at the Cronkite School, will be the main instructor.

Candidates must submit an online application, a one-page statement, their curriculum vitae or resume and a letter from their dean indicating their school’s plans to include entrepreneurship in journalism coursework the following academic year. Fellows are expected to return to their institutions to establish or expand courses on media entrepreneurship.

The deadline for applications is Nov. 1, 2011.
