Fellowship

LEDE

Journalism entrepreneurs are accelerating the spread of solutions journalism and creating meaningful impact.

2021 Lede Fellows

The LEDE Fellowship connects and supports journalism entrepreneurs with the goal of accelerating the spread of solutions journalism and creating meaningful impact. We look for projects that:

  • (L)everage the network: Fellows familiarize themselves with and seek out the expertise and resources of journalists, community members and others whose work is relevant to their project.
  • (E)ngage the community: Fellows connect with, support and/or celebrate other journalists doing solutions journalism as well as engage with the community that the journalism informs.
  • (D)isseminate the knowledge: Projects produce (or catalyze the production of) more solutions journalism. Projects also are designed to create insights for fellow journalists, newsrooms and other solutions journalism practitioners in our broader network.
  • (E)levate what — or who — is missing: Successful projects help tell the whole story about what’s working by amplifying marginalized voices and telling stories that problem-focused reporting misses.
