Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship

Update about the Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship

Thank you for your interest in the Poynter-Koch Media & Journalism Fellowship. Stand Together Fellowships has decided to sunset this fellowship in May 2024 when the current class concludes programming.


Stand Together Fellowships is proud of the program we have built in partnership with the Poynter Institute. We know it’s been a valuable experience for the many rising journalists and organizations that have participated over the last several years. The Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship provided a platform for early-career local journalists to grow, learn and make significant strides in their careers since 2019. We remain committed to the essential role a free press plays in a democratic society and will continue to look for ways our organization can best leverage our capabilities and resources toward that end.

For training and resources to grow your career in journalism, we recommend exploring the Poynter Institute’s many offerings.
