Village Voice Media Fellow

Village Voice Media Fellowship Program The Village Voice Media fellowship program presents an unparalleled opportunity for young writers who wish to pursue a career in magazine-style journalism. The purpose of the program is to identify writers who have the potential to become full-time staff writers, but who, through no fault of their own, lack the experience to be hired into such positions. Writing fellowships are six-month jobs. They pay $500 per week, without benefits. Most fellows hired either have a master’s degree or at least a year of practical journalistic experience outside school. However, in some instances, fellows may be hired immediately after completing their bachelor’s degree. Village Voice Media fellowships are writing and reporting jobs. Our fellows don’t do busywork, compile listings, go for coffee, or complete “research” for more experienced writers. Instead, they work intensively with an experienced editor/mentor to learn the basics of long-form news and feature writing. During the six-month fellowship period, they produce two magazine-style cover stories, in addition to writing and reporting a handful of shorter pieces. Thefellowship program is a performance-based meritocracy. Fellows do not compete against each other for jobs, and there is no guaranteed wash-out rate. Instead, upon completion of their fellowship, fellows who have performed up to Village Voice Media standards are given first priority for any entry-level staff writing jobs available around the company. Since the Village Voice Media fellowship program began in 1999, 45 people have accepted and completed fellowships. Of that number, 30--or 66 percent--have been hired as staff writers.
