NPR 2022 Kroc Fellowship to Develop Your Journalistic Voice

The NPR Kroc Fellowship is a yearlong program designed to identify and develop the next generation of extraordinary public media journalists. It was established in 2003 through a bequest from the estate of philanthropist Joan Kroc. Three fellows are selected each year and receive hands-on training in audio and digital journalism, including writing, reporting, producing and editing. Applicants must be recent graduates, but previous journalism experience is not required. Now in its 17th year, the program has produced nearly 50 fellows, many of whom continue to work at NPR and Member stations across the country. Throughout the experience Kroc Fellows can expect to: Develop audio production and writing skills by working on an NPR program or podcast. Past fellows have worked at Weekend Edition, Goats & Soda, and Alt.Latino. Become better reporters, writers and storytellers by working under the guidance of skilled editors, producers and the NPR Training team. Gain firsthand broadcast journalism experience by working at an NPR Member station.
