November 21, 2025 – Military Veterans in Journalism announced today a new partnership with Resolve Philly and the Wyncote Foundation to launch a new fellowship designed to employ a veteran as a journalist in Resolve Philly’s Germantown Info Hub newsroom team.
Thanks to support from the Wyncote Foundation, veterans who are members of Military Veterans in Journalism are now eligible to apply for this paid, in-person, six-month reporting fellowship at Resolve Philly that will start in early 2026. The chosen fellow will create community-centered reporting and solutions journalism on the key issues impacting Philadelphia’s Germantown and Overbrook neighborhoods. “The Resolve Philly team is delighted to partner with MJV to bring an emerging journalist into our community-driven work with Philadelphia neighborhoods,” said Sara Shahriari, Executive Director at Resolve Philly.
This fellowship program provides an opportunity for a military veteran journalist to further develop their news skills, make an impact within a local newsroom, and build both a network of world-class journalists and a portfolio of work. During the program, the selected fellow can expect to work with the Resolve Philly team on developing stories and ideas for Germantown Info Hub, including solutions-oriented stories, accountability stories, and community profiles; mapping community assets and assessing information needs; tabling and supporting community engagement work; and preparing photos and social media copy to accompany stories.
“Military Veterans in Journalism is pleased to provide this fellowship as we continue to strive toward the hiring of more military veterans in journalism,” said Devon Lancia, MVJ Partnerships Director. “This fellowship presents a wonderful opportunity for vets to produce highly-community-oriented news and make a lasting impact in Philadelphia where it’s needed most. We’re pleased to provide this fellowship in collaboration with Resolve Philly and thankful for the Wyncote Foundation’s support.”
The chosen fellow will report to Resolve Philly’s Director of Community News and Engagement. Veterans who are transitioning or early in their civilian journalism careers and who also have a vested interest in working with communities are encouraged to apply for this opportunity. Ideal fellowship candidates will have some experience reporting and writing on deadline for a general audience. The fellow will work 40 hours per week and earn $23 per hour for the duration of their fellowship. To view the Resolve Philly job description for this role, please see here.
Applicants for this fellowship may apply online with Military Veterans in Journalism. The deadline to apply is December 14, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
