Applications are open for the Edward R. Murrow Press Fellowship 2023. Launched in 1949, the Edward R. Murrow  Fellowship seeks to promote the quality of responsible and discerning journalism exemplified by the work of Edward R. Murrow.

One Edward R. Murrow Press fellowship is awarded each year to a distinguished foreign correspondent or editor. The fellow spends ten months full time in residence at Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) headquarters in New York. The programme enables the fellow to engage in sustained analysis and writing, expand his or her intellectual and professional horizons, and participate in CFR’s active programme of meetings and events. The fellow is part of the David Rockefeller Studies Programme, CFR’s think tank, alongside the programme’s full-time, adjunct, and visiting fellows, whose expertise extends across the broad range of significant foreign policy issues facing the United States and the international community.
