Campus Consortium Network (Reporting Fellowships)

Campus Consortium Network (Reporting Fellowships) is sponsored by Pulitzer Center. The Campus Consortium is a network of partnerships between the Pulitzer Center and colleges and universities.

Reporting Fellowships | Pulitzer Center Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellowships empower students from our Campus Consortium partners to impact the world around them, create change, and engage diverse audiences. Pulitzer Center Reporting Fellows at Campus Consortium partners pursue independent journalism projects that cover a wide range of critical issues in countries around the world and in the United States.

Reporting Fellows benefit from Pulitzer Center mentorship, networking opportunities, and journalism resources. Most importantly, they become part of a vibrant community.

Students and recent graduates of journalism schools, liberal arts colleges, historically Black colleges and universities, state universities, community colleges, and schools of public health sharpen their journalism skills in writing and multimedia, develop analytical thinking and creativity, increase awareness of different global perspectives, and deepen empathy.

Articles, photo essays, video, audio, and data visualizations produced by Reporting Fellows are featured on the Pulitzer Center website and in multiple news outlets, such as The New York Times , Miami Herald , Politico , NPR, The Guardian , Civil Beat, Grist, The Intercept, and Yes! Introducing the 2026 Campus Consortium Reporting Fellows The Pulitzer Center is excited to announce our 2026 cohort of 32 Reporting Fellows.

Their projects address some of the most critical and underreported stories in today’s world, including maternal health, climate migration, and mental well-being.
