Reminder: 9/8 deadline for fellowship bids

By Mark Obbie

Attention, freelancers: After the Labor Day holiday, you have less than a week until the application deadline for the Carnegie/Newhouse School Legal Reporting Fellowships program. I announced the program here last month. The program is explained fully here, and that's where you'll find the program guidelines and application form. Four freelancers will receive grants of up to $3,000 to subsidize their reporting expenses on projects concerning the law. On top of that, they'll receive up to 140 hours of research assistance from a bright and hard-working Newhouse School journalism student. We'll pay the students to help you with your research. Seventeen highly qualified students applied for the research assistant positions. Soon we'll be able to pair four of them with the four winners of the freelancer fellowships. The deadline for professionals to apply is Monday, September 8. The fellowships are open to journalists whose primary source of income is freelance work. Applicants can be based anywhere and can work in any medium (yes, that includes books, a question I've been asked a number of times). Please forward this news to your freelancer friends.
