About the fellowship
In previous years, fellows have produced more than 120 stories, enriching their communities with new perspectives on global issues. Many of the fellows’ stories have been hard-hitting reports that have exposed abuses and corruption, as well as documented the extraordinary lives of unsung people. A quarter of the reporters have won awards for their coverage. Fellows’ stories have appeared in news media ranging from NPR to The Miami Herald to The Daily Beast, with a combined reach of millions of people.
The participants say that this program helps to advance their careers because they have gained international experience and learned new digital skills.

Prior to the Fellows' overseas travel, ICFJ will hold an orientation from May 22 to 25, 2017, in Washington, D.C., to prepare them for their foreign reporting work. Each fellow is also paired with a mentor who provides guidance throughout the program. The Fellows depart for their reporting assignments between the months of June and August, depending on the destination and other factors.
Upon their return from abroad, fellows will be expected to complete their stories and publish or broadcast them by November 1, 2017. Their work will then appear in U.S. media outlets, as well as ICFJ's online compendium of fellowship stories.
The deadline is March 20, 2017.
