The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY announces its next Resilience Journalism Fellowship, February 24-March 1,  2019.
This winter up to 15 journalists will gather in New York City for six days of study and discussion. The workshop will be an opportunity to learn about the science and practice of resilience while unfettered from the daily demands of journalism.
Understanding how systems respond to disturbance is becoming more critical every day. How do cities, states, and countries recover after a hurricane devastates communities? How can a region reduce the effects of climate change? Is it possible to manage natural resources such as fisheries in a way that allows for long-term health of the ecosystem?
The Resilience Journalism Fellowship gives reporters the tools they need to answer these and other important questions through a resilience lens. They immerse their Fellows in the science behind resilience thinking through fieldwork – discussions with scientists, observation of resilience thinking as it relates to on-going projects, and meetings with business people and community members on the front lines of resilience work. And they couple that fieldwork with classroom discussion on resilience economics, story framing and so much more.
The Resilience Fellowship is designed for mid-career journalists who have at least some background reporting on environmental issues as a staff reporter, producer, editor, or freelancer. Applicants should have at least five years of full-time professional experience. They will however, in special cases, consider less experienced applicants who have demonstrated outstanding journalism achievement.
They are looking for journalists interested in improving both the quality and the quantity of their coverage of climate resilience issues. They want journalists who will be active throughout the fellowship, willing to take on the challenges we present.
Applicants who fall into either of the following categories will be considered:
International Fellows
International applications are not only welcome, but they are also encouraged; in the first Fellowship they had four people join us from outside the U.S. However all Fellows must have a strong grasp of English in order to participate fully, so they expect you to be proficient in speaking and writing English. This program also involves a lot of discussion of scientific concepts, so all Fellows should have a solid understanding of basic science.
As a Fellow, you will:
New York is one of the world’s major incubators for resilience thinking and climate-adaptive work. As a Fellow you will learn from leading planners, architects, activists, and scientists.
The Fellowship grant covers lodging, tuition, and reasonable travel costs, along with most meals. Personal expenses during the Fellowship are the responsibility of the Fellows.
The Fellowship will last from Sunday evening, Feb. 24Â until midday on Friday, March 1. Fellows will be required to complete several readings before arriving in New York, and will be expected to be active participants in all discussions during the Fellowship.
Financial support for the Resilience Fellowship program is provided by The Rockefeller Foundation.
In order to apply, you must fill in the application form.
