Maynard Institute for Journalism Education Fellowships for Editing Program

This fellowship is a six-week immersion program that will teach journalists everything from the basics of headline writing, grammar, page design and story organization to developing news judgment and the interpersonal skills that enable editors to work successfully with reporters and other editors. This program consists of in-depth classes and hands-on drills taught by leading practitioners at the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno. Funded by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The fellowship is open to journalists working for a U.S.-based newspaper with a circulation of 50,000 or below. This program has produced effective newsroom leaders of all races who promote team work, introduce and manage change, and improve the quality of journalism.
