Are you ready to launch your journalism career with one of the most respected names in media?

The Hearst Journalism Fellowship is a prestigious, full-time, two-year opportunity designed to catapult the next generation of journalists into impactful careers in today’s fast-changing digital landscape.

This isn’t just a foot in the door, it’s a front-row seat to the future of journalism.

Duration: 2 years Location: Rotations in San Francisco, Houston, San Antonio, Albany, or Connecticut Deadline to Apply: January 4, 2027

What You’ll Do

  • Two immersive, 12-month rotations at leading Hearst newspapers—including the San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, Albany Times Union, or one of our respected publications in Connecticut.
  • Work alongside Pulitzer-winning journalists and newsroom leaders who are telling powerful stories with data, video, and AI-driven tools.

  • Health insurance, relocation allowance, and housing stipend (depending on location).
  • Personalized career development plans, mentorship, and peer networking across our national newsroom network.
  • The opportunity to turn your Fellowship into a long-term journalism career with Hearst Newspapers (many of our Fellows do!).

What You’ll Bring

We’re seeking bold, curious, and digitally savvy storytellers with a passion for public service journalism. You might be a reporter, digital producer, data journalist, visual storyteller, or multimedia creator.

Ideal candidates will:

  • Be recent college grads or early-career journalists.
  • Have a background or demonstrated interest in journalism or related fields.

  • Bring a hunger to learn, create, and lead in a modern newsroom environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.

Yes, on the employer's own form, the hardest ones included. Where a question needs you, you answer it right there and AI suggests the best answer. Don't want us applying from our IP addresses? Use our Chrome extension: we apply straight from your own browser.
