DEADLINE: CatchLight Local Fellowship With Report for America

Event Date: 
February 3, 2025

This spring, local news outlets across the United States will become part of a national visual journalism initiative led by CatchLight and Report for America (RFA) to provide inclusive, accurate, and locally contextualized information to the public through accessible, high-quality visual journalism.

Following decades of jobs decline in the journalism industry that have disproportionately affected visual professionals, this initiative will fill the gap in underserved markets to reach audiences wherever they consume their news by placing full-time photojournalists with salary subsidies in select newsrooms nationwide.

The fellowship application is open until Monday, February 3, 2025, inviting qualified photographers to apply for full-time staff positions with the following newsrooms joining the CatchLight and RFA initiative:

  • Borderless Magazine (Chicago)
  • The Current GA (Savannah, Ga.)
  • Fort Worth Report (Texas)
  • Lookout Eugene-Springfield (Oregon)
  • Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service (Wisconsin)
  • MinnPost (Minneapolis)
  • Mirror Indy (Indianapolis)
  • MLK50 (Memphis, Tenn.)
  • Montana Free Press (Helena, Mont.)
  • Signal Cleveland (Ohio)
  • Verite News (New Orleans)
  • The Waco Bridge (Texas)

Additional positions are pending confirmation.
