Application Deadline:29 March, 2020, at 11.59pm EST.

Coda Story’s inaugural Bruno Fellowship is a nine-month reporting grant opportunity for an early to mid-career journalist. The Fellowship will fund one ambitious investigative project culminating in a single story or series of impactful stories, unearthing information that powerful forces do not want to see the light of day.

At Coda Story, the journalists exclusively cover three subjects: disinformationauthoritarian tech and the war on science, and the Bruno pitch must fit one or more of those categories.

This $16,000 grant covers compensation and travel expenses for a period of six months’ reporting and two-three months for the story to go through the editing process. Throughout the fellowship, the reporter will benefit from mentorship, guidance and editorial support from Coda’s editors.

The reporter can be based anywhere in the world, and we invite pitches from everywhere.

The Fellowship is an opportunity designed to allow early-career international journalists the time, funding and space to report deeply on the stories that matter.

Eligibility 
While there is no age limit, the fellowship is intended for applicants in the early to mid stage of their career, with at least 5 years’ reporting experience. We strongly encourage applications from people of all genders, races, national origins, and groups that are under-represented in journalism. Applicants must have excellent written and spoken English and have a track record of writing reported pieces in English.

  • A max 1-page reporting plan and skeleton timeline of how you’ll execute the story, outlining any travel you intend to do
  • A rough budget for any travel, reporting and research expenses
