Pulitzer Centre’s AI Accountability Fellowships open for proposals

DEADLINE: JULY 12, 2026 — The Pulitzer Centre is now accepting applications for its fifth cohort of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Accountability Fellowships.

Journalists selected for the 10-month-long fellowship will be provided up to $25,000 (up to $20,000 for reporting and $5,000 for engagement activities) to pursue their reporting projects.

Beyond financial support, the AI Accountability Fellowships provide selected journalists with a community of peers, mentorship, and training to pursue in-depth reporting projects that interrogate how AI systems are funded, built, and deployed by corporations, governments and other powerful actors.

Fellows will report on the impacts of algorithmic and automated systems on their communities as well as a broad range of issues across the AI supply chain.

The deadline for applications is July 12, 2026.
