The Bill Lane Center for the American West has been supporting journalism about the West and its environment for more than a decade. Our Western Media Fellowships provide opportunities for journalists working in all kinds of media — newspapers, magazines, radio, television, online, multimedia, video, film, data visualization and mapping, and books.

The fellowship enables journalists to:

* interact with Stanford researchers, scholars, and students
* develop or work on a project of their own design and spur new coverage and understanding of the American West

They are particularly interested in supporting projects that:

* intersect with ongoing research at Stanford and the Bill Lane Center
* address significant challenges facing the American West
* explore promising new possibilities for journalism and the media in the region
* come from emerging voices producing groundbreaking environmental journalism
