The Every Mother Counts U.S. Maternal Health Press Fellowship is designed to deepen and expand U.S. media coverage of maternal health. This fellowship is a learning opportunity that will help journalists understand the challenges and solutions shaping maternal health in the U.S. and support more impactful reporting on the issue.



This Fellowship builds on that work by creating opportunities for journalists to connect with the people, perspectives, and community-driven solutions that shape maternal health across the country.

The fellowship will run for approximately four months, from April–July 2026. A cohort of approximately 10 journalists from across the country will deepen their understanding of the U.S. maternal health landscape through a blend of virtual learning and interactive site visits to Arkansas & Minnesota* where they will meet with community-based leaders, advocates, policy experts, and health providers working to advance maternal health.
