We're building a global community of expert journalists.
Tarbell Fellowship
The Tarbell Fellowship is a one-year program for early-career journalists interested in covering artificial intelligence.
Fellows secure a 9-month placement at a major newsroom, participate in a study group covering AI governance & technical fundamentals, and attend a journalism summit in San Francisco. The Tarbell Fellowship provides a stipend of up to $50,000 to support these placements.
The program incorporates expert speakers, feedback & mentorship from experienced journalists and networking events with experts from leading AI organizations.
Previous fellows have been placed at TIME, MIT Tech Review, The Information, Euractiv, Lawfare, and Coda.
Grants
Tarbell Grants offers awards of $1,000 - $15,000 to support journalism on AI and its impacts.
We seek to fund established journalists to pursue original reporting on current & future harms from frontier models, investigate the inner workings of leading AI companies, and scrutinize lobbying efforts shaping AI policy. We are also excited to support explanatory reporting that helps the public understand complicated topics in AI.
Residencies
Our Journalist in Residence programme provides experienced journalists with the stability necessary to work on longer investigations, explore entrepreneurial projects, and dive deep into artificial intelligence.
Our two inaugural journalists-in-residence previously worked at The New York Times and The Economist. One has since gone on to steer The Information's AI coverage, while the other has built an independent newsletter read by the most important people in AI policy.
Events
Networking & education events in San Francisco, London, New York, and Washington DC.
