The Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) is inviting newsrooms that cover Latino issues and communities to apply for our new Addressing Health Disparities Fellowship. Over the course of a year, seven selected newsrooms will produce high-impact reporting that highlights and investigates responses aimed at reducing health disparities affecting Latino communities in the United States.

We’re seeking organizations that are committed to their communities, eager to join a community of practice with like-minded peers and willing to think outside the box to tell stories. Each newsroom will receive funding, training and support from SJN and our partners. Applications are due Jan. 16.
