SABEW Staff Report

This year, the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism will award two $1,000 fellowships to attend the  Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) 50-year anniversary conference in Washington April 4-6.

The fellowship is open to full-time journalists who want to attend the center’s free training before and during the conference, as well as other sessions.

As part of the fellowship, winners will be invited to write a blog post for BusinessJournalism.org providing useful tips and insights on what they learned from the conference.

Winners of Reynolds Center fellowships will be notified by Feb. 26.

To apply for a fellowship, please provide the following in an email to Reynolds Executive Director Linda Austin by 11:59 p.m. PT Feb. 18. Please put “SABEW Fellowship” in the subject line:

• Name, position, media outlet (if affiliated with one), email address, phone number.
• A resume.
• A 500-word statement on how attending the Reynolds Center training sessions and the rest of the SABEW Conference would benefit your professional development. Please include in this statement how many times you have attended SABEW previously, whether you would be able to attend this year without this support, and what your plan is for sharing what you would learn with colleagues.
