Fellowships

Digital Journalists can apply for Tow Center Fellowship

DEADLINE: JANUARY 11, 2021 — The Tow Center for Digital Journalism is currently accepting proposals to research emerging technology and trends impacting the news industry.

The Tow Center’s mission is to help individual journalists, students, faculty, news organizations, and policymakers to develop and expand their thinking around and practice in digital journalism.

Students, researchers, faculty, and practitioners in the fields of computer science and journalism can apply.

Proposals must cover these areas:

  • Computation, Algorithms, and Automated Journalism
  • Data, Metrics, and Impact
  • Audiences and Engagement
  • Experimental Journalism, Models, and Practice

This is a non-residential fellowship open to both Columbia and non-Columbia affiliates.

The fellowship will begin in January of 2021, and the research is expected to be completed by January 31, 2022.

The deadline for Research Project Proposals is January 11, 2021
