Our Atlantic Media Fellowship Program — Selecting 5-10 Fellows

Atlantic Media is now seeking 5-10 exceptional or aspiring writers, editors and other online media talents to serve as Atlantic Media Fellows for the Fall of 2008 through the Spring of 2009. Candidates should be current students in or recent graduates of college or graduate school programs.

Atlantic Media Fellows join the staff of Atlantic Media — helping launch, research, write and edit new websites. Fellows are paid $30,000-$40,000 (depending on experience) for the nine-month appointment.

Fellows are expected to begin their service at Atlantic Media in September 2008 and continue through May 2009. There is some prospect, but no certainty, that Fellows may be offered employment with Atlantic Media following the fellowship.

Fellowship Focus for 2008-2009 — Creating and Launching New Websites

The larger focus for our 2008-2009 Fellows will be creating and launching new websites for Atlantic Media. Fellows will help conceive new web concepts, develop their structure, design and voice, and complete the daily operations, writing and editing once the publications are launched. This is website creation from first to last.

Attributes Sought — Extreme Talent in Writing, Editing and Digital Media

In deciding among candidates, Atlantic Media seeks in all Fellows three “Pillar Qualities.” In addition, there is a set of attributes — sought but not required — that may advance a candidacy.

SELECTION CRITERIA
“Pillar Qualities” Sought in All Fellows
Force of Intellect
Atlantic Media seeks in its Fellows a high intelligence as manifested, often, in an exceptional academic record at one of the nation’s more competitive colleges.
Spirit of Generosity
Equally, Atlantic Media seeks what we term a spirit of generosity — a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
Power of Creativity
Innovative ideas with the enthusiasm and intuition to implement those ideas should be at the core of all Fellows.
Additional Attributes Sought but Not Required
(truly spiking as to even one quality, below, is entirely sufficient)

Exceptional writing voice
Acute wit that may manifest itself in headlines, photo captions, original satire
Knowledge of markets, the economy and global business
Strong world view informed by classic liberal values
Keen marketing intuition or online operations expertise
Strong designer’s eye
Strong technical or Human-Computer Interactivity (HCI) skills

APPLICATION PROCESS
Step #1 - Resume and Memo Submitted by May 8, 2008
The Atlantic Media Fellowship application includes no form. Instead, we ask that you sunmit a copy of your resume plus one essay — a memo written to our editors critiquing a news website. Some further guidance on the memo is offered below.

Guidance on the Memo
The news and business terrains on the web are unimaginably crowded. As to traffic, the television-based websites dominate — CNN.com, MSNBC.com. As to news for high-end readers, the great newspapers have crowded in — NYT.com, WashingtonPost.com, WSJ.com. All the major business magazines have news websites — Forbes.com, BusinessWeek.com, Fortune.com, FastCompany.com. And, as to original entrants, web journalism is host to many new competitors: The Drudge Report, HuffingtonPost, RealClearPolitics and so forth.

Our request is that you choose one or more of the major news websites and offer a critique of the strengths and weaknesses you see in their execution. We would welcome, especially, any original ideas you have for how the news might be covered, presented, or organized differently.

Please keep your memo to a limit of 1500 words.

Step #2 — Semi-finalists chosen for working weekend in Washington, DC (May 31-June 1)
Based on the resumes and memoranda submitted, Atlantic Media will choose up to 20 candidates to spend a working weekend with us in Washington. The daytime hours will be spent developing - alone and in teams - a fuller concept for the look and content of a new website that might be created. Atlantic Media will set out the goals and guidelines and have editors available to work with the candidates. Friday and Saturday evenings will be spent at dinner with Atlantic Media writers.

Atlantic Media will pay all travel, lodging and incidental expenses for each candidate invited to Washington.
Step #3 — Atlantic Media Fellows Announced on June 6, 2008

MAY 8TH DEADLINE
Submitting Your Application
Please submit your resume and memorandum to Atlantic Media no later than midnight on the night of May 8, 2008 by clicking here. After inputting your contact information:

Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting
Announces Training Fellowships for Journalists

Fellowships focus on basic science reporting and minority journalists.

Reporting on the
environment, public policy, and even business, often requires journalists
to explain complex scientific research and its implications. The Metcalf
Institute for Marine and Environmental reporting is recruiting journalists
for two science training fellowships: Metcalf’s Tenth Annual Science
Immersion Workshop for Journalists, and the Metcalf Institute Diversity
Fellowships in Environmental Reporting.

Both fellowships provide immersion in the research underlying
environmental news. Journalists learn how marine and environmental science
is conducted by working with scientists, graduate students, and policy
experts. Participants study the application of science to public policy,
community and the news.

The Tenth Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists, June 8-13,
2008, offers ten fellowships for early to mid-career journalists to attend
a weeklong science immersion workshop at the University of Rhode Island’s
Graduate School of Oceanography. Participants work in the field and lab,
attend lectures and discussions by leading writers and researchers, and
participate in journalism clinics. Each fellowship provides tuition, room
and board, and limited travel reimbursement. Applications for the Tenth
Annual Workshop must be postmarked by January 28, 2008.

The Metcalf Institute Diversity Fellowships in Environmental Reporting are
offered to five traditionally under-represented minority journalists with
U.S. citizenship interested in studying marine and environmental science
and developing environmental reporting skills. Participants partake in a
one-month independent study at the University of Rhode Island with a
nine-month reporting assignment covering environmental and science-based
news at one of five news outlets. The Diversity Fellowships, which are
intended to increase quality environmental reporting and diversity in
newsrooms around the country, are supported by a grant from the National
Science Foundation and each includes a $34,000 stipend and limited travel
reimbursement. Applications for the Diversity Fellowships in Environmental
Reporting must be postmarked by March 18, 2008.

Both fellowships are available to journalists from all media who are
interested in learning about science and the environment. Applicants
should have a minimum of one to two years experience in journalism and a
strong interest in science reporting.

Additional information and applications are available at
www.metcalfinstitute.org or by calling (401) 874-6211. The Metcalf
Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting, named for Michael P.
Metcalf, late publisher of The Providence Journal, was established in 1997
with funding from the Belo Corporation, The Providence Journal Charitable
Foundation, The Philip L. Graham Fund, and the Telaka Foundation.

Program Summary:

Baby busts and aging booms, more women joining the work force and more
young adults looking for jobs, globalization and urbanization reshaping
traditional cultures and family roles: dynamic forces such as these are
changing the face and future of the Asia Pacific and creating new economic
and social challenges in the region.

The “aging” of nations is occurring throughout Asia, especially in East
Asian countries that are starting to see population declines. Japan, where
more women are postponing marriage or remaining single, will soon have the
world’s oldest population. This requires new policies to meet the needs of
the elderly and maintain economic growth, issues receiving more attention
in the United States as well. At the same time, while women throughout
Asia are having fewer babies, populations in parts of the region will
continue to grow for many years, especially in South Asia. India alone is
projected to contribute 37 percent of Asia’s population growth between
2000 and 2050. Adolescents and young adults in a number of countries,
including Thailand, are making up larger percentages of the populations,
creating increased demands for jobs and forcing more people into cities to
find them. Globalization and other pressures on cultures and families have
led to shifting attitudes toward gender relations, marriage and family
life.

In presentations to one another and in sessions with East-West Center and
other Honolulu-based experts, Jefferson Fellows will discuss a wide range
of demographic and social issues facing countries throughout the Asia
Pacific region and in the United States. In a 21-day study tour, Fellows
will visit Japan, Thailand and India — three democratic nations
experiencing varying stages of economic development and population
transition — to explore each country’s unique set of challenges and how
they are being met by policymakers and the larger societies. Issues will
be examined within the greater context of economics, politics, security,
religion and culture.

From: Sarah Knighton

Apply now to attend CJC’s national conference, “Crossing Divides: Reporting on Diverse Communities,” March 12-16, 2006, outside of Washington, D.C.

As more U.S. cities and states become “majority-minority,” one in five children is an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. At the same time, the country is reckoning with mounting issues of the “underclass,” as revealed by Hurricane Katrina. To help journalists tell stories of an America that struggles with issues of class, race, economics and culture, the conference will explore popular conceptions and understanding of immigrants and the underclass and how social institutions are grappling with this growing diversity. Sessions will focus on major institutions and systems, such as schools/education; health care; social services; criminal justice; the economy; politics; and social/cultural/religious life.

Be one of 30 print, broadcast and online journalists chosen to examine the challenges facing today’s diverse families. Participate in discussions with renowned researchers and build your skills in journalism workshops. Fellowships cover lodging, materials and a travel subsidy to the University of Maryland, located seven miles from downtown Washington. Applications are due on Monday, Jan. 23, 2006.

Confirmed speakers include keynoter Freeman A. Hrabowski III, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, a national expert on minority student achievement; Hodding Carter III, journalist, author and former Carter Administration spokesman; Charles Murray, author and scholar; Annetta Seecharran, executive director of South Asian Youth Action; and Tamar Jacoby, writer and television and radio commentator.

MEDICAL EVIDENCE BOOT CAMP FOR JOURNALISTS
Nov. 27 - Dec. 1. 2005
Hosted by MIT’s Knight Science Journalism Fellowships Program
Cambridge, MA

Why do health studies disagree? Are cancer clusters real? Which diets
work best? Which are more convincing: epidemiological studies or
clinical trials? One of the most difficult challenges facing journalists
who cover health is the uncertainty of nearly all medical evidence. Many
studies come to contradictory conclusions, yet the public’s interest in
medical news and the need for reliable health information is growing.
To help journalists make sense of all this, MIT’s Knight Science
Journalism Fellowships program is offering the Medical Evidence Boot
Camp, an intensive course on how to evaluate medical evidence on the MIT
campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lodging and most meals will be
provided as well as $500 toward travel expenses for successful applicants.

Medical researchers from MIT, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of
Public Health, the NIH, the FDA and other institutions will teach the
course. They’ll explain how clinical trials are designed and carried out
and why some kinds of studies are more credible than others. They’ll
discuss carcinogenicity and toxicity–why they are so hard to establish
and how to think about alleged clusters of victims. We’ll explore the
politics and ethics of how new drugs are tested, often by the companies
that stand to profit from them. And we’ll look at how the FDA, the NIH
and other agencies evaluate treatments, old and new. Finally, we’ll look
at the rise of a new phenomenon called “evidence-based medicine.”

Confirmed faculty for this year’s program include:
. Julie Buring, professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and
principal investigator of the Women’s Health Study. Scores of
journalists have praised her ability to explain clinical studies and
epidemiology clearly and engagingly.

. Barry Kramer, director of the Office of Medical Applications of
Research at the National Institutes of Health. He is the leader of a
major effort to upgrade the evidentiary basis of NIH’s recommendations
to doctors and patients.

. Jerome Kassirer, former Editor-in-Chief of The New England Journal of
Medicine, author of On The Take: How Medicine’s Complicity with Big
Business Can Endanger Your Health.

. Lisa Schwartz and Steve Woloshin, general internists at the White
River Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center and associate professors
at Dartmouth Medical School. Their research addresses how best to
communicate quantitative information and how to measure perceptions of
the harms and benefits of treatment.

. Kimberly Thompson, associate professor of risk analysis and decision
science, Harvard School of Public Health. Her research interests focus
on the issues related to developing and applying quantitative methods
for risk assessment and risk management and consideration of the public
policy implications associated with including uncertainty and
variability in risk characterization.

HOW TO APPLY:
All application materials must be received by September 15. Twelve
journalists will be selected to attend Medical Evidence Boot Camp.
Winners will be announced by October 15. If selected, we will reimburse
you for up to $500 of your travel expenses to Cambridge, provide your
accommodation at the Marriott Residence Inn, and provide most meals
during your stay. Medical Evidence Boot Camp begins the evening of
Sunday, November 27, and runs through the afternoon of Thursday,
December 1. Participants are required to attend all sessions.
