The Local Investigations Fellowship gives journalists the opportunity to produce signature investigative work focused on their state or region that will be published by The Times and made available for free for co-publication by local newsrooms.

This program is a one-year investigative reporting fellowship to develop the next generation of great reporters to do this essential type of accountability journalism at the local level.

Applications are currently being accepted for a fellowship based in Mississippi or Louisiana, as part of a collaboration with Deep South Today.

Applications for the 2027-28 cohort will open July 1, 2026.
