Job Description

Ready to join our team of world-class journalists?

The Fellowship is a two-year program focusing on journalism in a changing digital world. This program consists of two 12-month rotations at our top metro papers - San Francisco, Houston, San Antonio, Albany, and one of our papers in Connecticut. Fellows will receive training, mentoring and real-world experience alongside top journalists who are using cutting-edge tools to tell stories through data, video, and more. Hearst Fellows are full-time employees with competitive salary and benefits, including health insurance, relocation allowance and housing stipend depending on location.

What it could mean for your future

The goal of the program, if successfully completed by the Fellow, is to be offered a job at the end of the two years.

Those selected will have the opportunity to grow in one of the world's best journalism organizations.

How Fellows are selected A panel of Hearst's top editors will review applications and select finalists.

Candidates will submit in a writing test and finalists will be interviewed in February.
