Rainforest Investigations Network Fellow

We are seeking to recruit experienced investigative journalists in each of the tropical rainforest regions as well as journalists based at major global media outlets. The full-time, year-long fellowships will cover the reporter’s salary and provide additional support for the media outlet that employs the journalist (if on staff), or that agrees to host the Fellow (if a freelancer). The Rainforest Investigations Network is coordinated by journalist Gustavo Faleiros, a pioneer of rainforest accountability reporting and founder of the data journalism outlet InfoAmazonia. The RIN core team includes data editor Kuang Keng Kuek Ser and investigative journalist Jelter Meers. The Fellows will also work with other Pulitzer Center staff, such as Executive Editor Marina Walker Guevara. Fellows are expected to devote a full year to their rainforest investigations and to publish regularly. They will receive training and data, communication, research and coordination support from the Pulitzer Center. They will work closely with their co-Fellows around the world, benefiting from one another’s skills and diverse perspectives.  The initiative will also collaborate with the Pulitzer Center’s education teams. Fellows will have the support of local education coordinators, who will identify outreach opportunities to share investigation findings at schools and universities.
