The Tarbell Fellowship is a program designed for journalists and would-be journalists who want to write about AI. Our goal is to build a global network of reporters who understand both the technical and ethical dimensions of AI.
Benefits:
- 10 weeks of intensive AI journalism fundamentals training
- 1 week journalism summit in the San Francisco Bay Area
- 9 month placement at a top-tier news outlet
- Access to leading AI researchers and experts
- $60,000 to $80,000 stipend for early-career
- $90,000 to $110,000 stipend for individuals with more than five years of AI or journalism experience
Experience in AI governance, technical research, or journalism is a plus — but not required. Last year’s placements included Bloomberg, The Guardian, NBC News, Time Magazine, and more. Could you be next?
Program runs June 2026 to May 2027
