Grist Fellowships Are Accepting Submissions

For early-career journalists, Grist announced two fellowships on Twitter, and employees can work remotely from anywhere in the US. -- News and Political Fellowship: “With the mentorship and support of Grist’s editorial staff, the news & politics fellow will be expected to write quick news updates, newsletter items, and short, reported stories. You’ll help chronicle the progress being made to tackle the climate crisis, whether it’s coming from scientific laboratories, the halls of Congress, or companies and corporations.”
-- Environmental Justice Fellowship: “With the mentorship and support of Grist’s editorial staff, the environmental justice fellow will report on the connections between social inequality and the environment. You will explore the ways in which the environmental movement can become more inclusive, especially in the current moment — and how communities of color are developing new ways to fight for cleaner air and water and safer neighborhoods. We’re especially interested in journalism that identifies communities and people working on homegrown solutions.”
Value: $3,334/month for six months for each fellowship
Open for: US writers
