Overview
The Bill Lane Center for the American West has been supporting journalism about the West and its environment for a decade or more. 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, or explore promising new possibilities for journalism and the media in the region.
Reward
They offer a single media fellowship with a $7,500 stipend for three months’ work. Half of the grant is dispensed when the fellow is selected and the other half upon publication of the story. The award will fund a journalist illuminating crucial issues about the region.
Eligibility
Their Western Journalism and 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.
