Emerging Journalists Fellowship Program
Cascade PBS’s Emerging Journalists Fellowship Program is designed to cultivate a new generation of sharp, tech-savvy public-interest journalists by embedding early-career storytellers directly into our newsroom. In today’s fast-evolving media landscape, a journalism degree or a couple of internships often isn’t enough to launch a successful career. Opportunities for meaningful mentorship and coaching are increasingly rare. Our program aims to change that by offering fellows a fully immersive multimedia newsroom experience, equipping them with critical skills, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a strong portfolio of work to propel their careers in writing, photography, video journalism, or a combination of these disciplines.
