Fellowship -- Photographe

Join the 2023 New York Times Fellowship class as a photographer. The Times is a worldwide leader in photojournalism, earning multiple Pulitzer Prizes and World Press Photo awards in recent years and establishing standards for excellence and innovation that have been influential across the industry. Our photographers bear witness to events around the world, and our Photo department is one of the treasures of our newsroom. Photography is a central part of our identity. The photography fellows will work with Times photo editors, shooting daily assignments for many sections. The goal is to give the fellows exposure to news, feature and sports photography, as well as the opportunity to learn about news judgment, editing choices, building visual narratives, lighting techniques and aesthetic direction. Photography fellows will work out of either our New York headquarters, where they will cover a mix of assignments, or our Washington bureau, where they will mainly cover Capitol Hill and the White House. Working closely with photo editors, the fellows will also be expected to initiate enterprise projects. This program is for early-career journalists. Applicants with more than five years of full-time, professional journalism experience beyond school will not be considered. The most competitive candidates will be college graduates or postgraduates or career pivoters of any age who have had multiple news internships or equivalent experience.
