The Future of Work Reporting Fellowship will support journalists telling place-based stories that explore how government and private investments are reshaping economic opportunity across the United States.

Future of Work Reporting Fellowship, a new program that will help journalists report on how education, workforce development, and the innovation economy converge—and what that means for people’s lives and livelihoods.

Billions in federal, state, and private investment are flowing into communities across America, driving the growth of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, advanced manufacturing, and new tech-based initiatives that promise to transform regional economies and create better pathways to good jobs.

But will these investments actually deliver security for working families? Who benefits, and who gets left behind? How are workers and students, state and local governments, education providers, and economic development leaders navigating the impact of technological change on the labor market? These are among the most important stories in the country right now, and they’re underreported.

The fellowship supports journalists producing in-depth reporting that examines these types of questions.

Fellows will receive the following support:

• $5,000 stipend, plus an expense budget
• Editorial coaching and professional development
• Access to expert sources and data resources
• Storytelling amplification opportunities
