Global Press Shifting Democracies Reporting Fellowship 2025 for Women Journalists (Up to $30,000)

Global Press’ Shifting Democracies fellows will examine changing governance structures in countries around the world, and how those shifts are interconnected. During this two-year, full-time fellowship, fellows will produce investigative and explanatory journalism, participate in advanced skills training and be part of an international cohort of women journalists, all working and living in their home countries.

Global Press was founded in 2006 and has trained more than 250 women journalists since its founding. In 2024, Global Press transformed its operating model to scale its training programs and coverage locations. Global Press now focuses its coverage on the three most pressing issues of the day — global health, civil liberties and the environment. Now, reporters and reporting fellows from even more global locations are producing investigative and explanatory news coverage for print, online and radio audiences across the globe.

Fellows will receive:

  • Up to $30,000 USD per year based on local market rates.
  • The opportunity to opt in to a global health benefit plan.
  • Access to the robust Duty of Care program.
  • The option to apply for a technology scholarship and/or a tech repair loan.
  • 10 public holidays per year and 10 vacation days per year.
  • Wellness support and mentorship opportunities.
