Atlantic Media Company Diversity Fellowship Program 2008-09

Atlantic Media Company believes in the value of a diverse and inclusive work environment. As part of our continuing effort to support diversity, we are offering year-long editorial fellowships to two emerging journalists. The goal of the fellowships is to increase the representation of historically underrepresented groups at the company and to provide an opportunity for graduate students and recent graduates to develop editorial skills through a series of rotations across our publications.

Fellows will complete three 4-month rotations with assignments designed to give hands-on experience in research, editing, and reporting. Working closely with our writers and editors in our Watergate offices, fellows will be exposed to all facets of journalism and political reporting. Fellows will also have the opportunity to spend a rotation on the business side of journalism, providing support to the circulation and reader relations or advertising and marketing teams. Fellows will be compensated at an annual salary and be eligible for coverage under the company's group medical insurance program. Fellows will be responsible for finding their own housing.

The ideal candidate will have experience in journalism, proven writing skills, a career interest in media and journalism, intellectual curiosity, initiative, creative problem solving skills, and a record of academic achievement.

Applications are accepted through both National Journal's and The Atlantic's job opportunities pages.

Applications must be received by April 14th. Final round candidates will be notified by June 30th. Fellowships will begin on September 2nd, 2008.

Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Atlantic Media is committed to the principles of equal opportunity, both in employment and its fellowship program.
