Info Session & Lunch: 2024 Yale/Pulitzer Center Fellowship for Climate Reporting

We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 8th YPCCC/Pulitzer Center Fellowship on Climate Reporting. Please join us Monday, December 4th, noon-1pm at Sage Lounge, Sage Hall, 1st floor, 205 Prospect St. in New Haven for a presentation by 2022 fellow Grace Cajski (Yale College '24) and Libby Moeller, Program Manager for the Pulitzer Center’s Reporting Fellows Program. Grace spent a month on Oahu and the Big Island researching how ancient Hawaiian fishponds can, will, and have interacted with climate change. She worked with a Pulitzer mentor to develop and pitch her project, Fishpond Aquaculture in a Warming World, which was published in Honolulu Civil Beat in both English and Hawaiian.

The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication has a “Campus Consortium Partnership" with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in order to nurture quality journalism on climate change, one of the most urgent issues of our time.  The partnership offers Yale students support and training to undertake their own reporting projects focused on global warming, and brings journalists reporting on the subject to campus to present their work and meet with students.

We offer one climate reporting fellowship per summer to a Yale student or recent graduate to pursue reporting projects. Pulitzer Center staff and journalists advise the student throughout the process. Final projects are featured on the Pulitzer Center website. Students are often successful in placing their work in other news-media outlets as well (among them, NPR's Goats and Soda, Foreign Affairs, The Washington Post, Global Health Now, Huff Post, News Deeply, Nautilus, Mongabay, and The Atlantic). Reporting fellows produce a long form article and/or a multimedia piece, a photo essay, and a field note. Specific requirements to be arranged with Pulitzer Center staff. The amount of the fellowship offered is $3,000. In order to cover all costs associated with travel and reporting, the fellowship is often combined with other support.

Current Yale undergrad and grad students are eligible for the climate reporting fellowship, including those graduating in 2024. There is more information HERE about past climate reporting fellows and HERE about the fellowship in general.

Please complete the application and submit it by midnight, Sunday, February 4, 2023.  You will be notified by March 5th.
