Local Investigations Fellowship — Reporter Fellow

Join The New York Times Local Investigations Fellowship as a reporter. The Times is looking for reporters with a local story idea who want to investigate it under the editing guidance of Dean Baquet, The Times’s former executive editor, and a group of veteran investigative editors. The goal of the Local Investigative Fellowship is to provide fellows the opportunity to learn the ways and means of investigative reporting from some of the best in the business. Our fellows will be based in the communities where they are reporting and make periodic trips to The Times’s offices for training and support. This one year program is for reporters in local newsrooms or freelancers. Fellows ideally will have three to five years of experience working as a beat reporter, but reporters with more experience may be considered. The most competitive candidates will be journalists who have significant experience covering a beat and have an idea for an investigative story that they have not had the time, resources or editing support to pursue.
