The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writing was established to enable a mid-career journalist who specializes in fact-based commentary or analysis to have time away from daily responsibilities to pursue in-depth reporting projects. Fellows may use the funds to enrich their knowledge of a public interest issue through courses, independent study or travel. The fellowship is intended to result in published projects such as editorials, investigative series, podcasts or books. The fellowship will be awarded to outstanding editorial writers, columnists or reporters to help broaden their journalistic horizons and knowledge of the world. To be eligible for a Pulliam Fellowship, a candidate must be employed as an opinion writer, or as a reporter with a major focus on analytical or investigative journalism, at a U.S. news outlet. Applications also are welcome from freelancers who devote a majority of their time, or derive most of their income, from such pursuits. Applicants must have at least three years of relevant professional experience. They must demonstrate outstanding writing and analytical abilities and in-depth examinations that go beyond revealing problems to include reporting on efforts to address those problems. Applicants must also demonstrate ability and intent to publish work within six to 12 months of selection. Entries and work products must be in English. Applicants must submit a cover letter stating the purpose and nature of the proposed project, a timeline for accomplishing the work, and a plan for how the stipend will be used. The editor's endorsement, where applicable, is also required. Not necessary if the applicant is self-employed. A professional biography and summary of professional experience and five samples of opinion or analytical writing must also be submitted. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
