Join us on January 21 at 12 PM ET to engage with the Allbritton Journalism Institute amidst their current round of fellowship applications!

The Allbritton Journalism Institute (AJI) is a one-of-a-kind institution in Washington: a nonprofit educational organization that is training the political journalists of the future — and has created a new publication to accomplish that goal. Every September, AJI welcomes a cohort of early-career reporters to D.C. for a two-year fellowship. Fellows are paid $60,000 per year to take classes with some of the country’s best journalists and to write for AJI’s publication, NOTUS, where they work alongside a staff of established reporters and editors to cover politics, policy and government.

The program begins this September, and applications are due February 19. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more and engage with AJI Director of Admissions Richard Just and current AJI fellow (and MVJ member) John T. Seward!
