• Thanks to the support of the Google News Initiative, the programme is entirely free for selected participants.
• The organizers allocated around GBP 6,000 per project to support research and project development expenses. The money is not a stipend or compensation (you are not expected to leave your job to participate in the Fellowship Programme).
• Additionally, all mentors will receive GBP 500 for the eight hours they will spend supporting your work.

Eligibility for 2024 JournalismAI Fellowship Programme

• If you are an editorial or technical person working in a news organisation, you are eligible to apply. You can apply either as a pair i.e. one editorial and one technical colleague, or, as an individual applicant.
• All candidates must have some experience working on products and/or stories that involve the use of AI technologies.
• Regardless of whether you apply separately, or in pairs, you must form a team with an equal split of editorial and technical candidates in order to be eligible for final selection. You may form teams of four fellows or six fellows with an equal split between editorial/strategic and technical fellows.
• Fluency in English is required.
• This is not a training programme for journalists that have no experience working with AI technologies. If you are fairly new to this field, you should consider applying for our Academy for Small Newsrooms or the JournalismAI Discovery.
