Fellowship Location: New York, NY
As a Fellow at ProPublica, you’ll sit among and work with some of the best data and investigative journalists on the planet, doing data analysis at the highest level and turning it into compelling journalistic stories that change the world.
Fellowship Program Areas:
The team you’ll work with stands at the crossroads of three disciplines — Data analysis, interaction design, and journalism;
- Data Analysis: Much of the work at ProPublica involves understanding data and using it to tell journalistic stories. Their data reporters and editors are involved in the entire data lifecycle, from acquisition and filtering to mining and presentation.
- Design/Visualization: Their team works at the forefront of information architecture and visual design in data journalism. They make data visualizations and interactive exploratory databases that help people explore and understand their world better.
- Investigation Journalism: ProPublica’s work involves stories that truly matter and that have impact in the real world. In fact, having impact is their mission as a charitable non-profit organization. This leads them to make decisions like open-sourcing their code, sharing their data, and giving their stories away for free.
The ideal Fellow has great analytical chops and want to make the world a better, safer, and more accountable place. If you’re looking to put your data analysis skills to work on new real-world data sets, this might be the Fellowship for you!
