Reynolds Fellowship in Community Journalism

The distinctive voices of local newspapers play a critical role in informing citizens of many American communities, this fellowship will be awarded to a journalist of accomplishment and promise who is committed to the role of the community press.

Made possible through a five-year grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, this annual fellowship is offered to journalists who are U.S. citizens and who work at a U.S. daily newspaper with a circulation less than 50,000.

Applications from Reynolds candidates are reviewed by a committee of Harvard faculty and news professionals, chaired by the Nieman curator. Finalists are invited to Cambridge in late April for interviews as the final step in selection.

The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation is a national philanthropic organization founded in 1954 by the late media entrepreneur for whom it is named. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is one of the 50 largest private foundations in the United States.

The deadline for application submission is Jan. 31.
