Help shape how the next generation understands the world.

Help shape how the next generation understands the world.

A selective, semester-long fellowship for students interested in journalism, politics, business, and the future of media.

The Newsreel Fellows Program brings together a small group of students who care deeply about how people make sense of the world — and want to help build a healthier alternative to today's social media–driven news environment.

Fellows work closely with the Newsreel team to test ideas, gather feedback, spark real conversations on campus, and contribute to a platform designed around understanding rather than outrage.
