The Knight-Mozilla Fellowships: Fellowship Partners

Fellowship partners host fellows for 10 months, offering challenging projects and immersion into the culture of the newsroom. We select partners who are invested in open source development and who will encourage their fellow to collaborate within and outside of their news organization.

The fellowship will be on hiatus for 2017. During early 2017, we're going to reflect on the past five years of the program and determine what shape the fellowship could take going forward. If you'd like to learn more about that or be notified when we have updates about the program please sign up here.

Partnering with OpenNews

Being a fellowship partner is the most intensive way that OpenNews collaborates with news organizations, but it is just one of to get involved with our work and work together. Through our website Source and events like SRCCON, we partner with news organizations and their teams to share their work. We also host events called code convenings to help teams open source projects.
