Nevada Independent Fellowship

Company Information

The Nevada Independent fellowship is an intensive, hands-on opportunity to learn from the experienced reporters and editors at our nonprofit, nonpartisan news outlet. From day one, fellows will be challenged to work on a broad range of sophisticated stories that explore how politics and policy affect everyday Nevadans, with plenty of mentorship and support along the way. The experience spans a key election season in a swing state and the state’s biennial legislative session, and fellows are encouraged to propose further beats and specialties that meet the needs of the newsroom. 

Qualifications

• Completion of a bachelor’s degree by start of the fellowship term, with at least one prior internship for a news organization
• Ability to work full time (40 hours a week) from Nevada
• Internet access and a laptop (we do not maintain a physical office so this is a mostly remote work opportunity)
• Ability to work weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (or until your planned story is filed)
• Strong writing skills (a writing and style test will be administered)

Duties

• Fellows will also work to present and promote their reporting in multiple formats, including through TikTok and other vertical video platforms, and learn to produce rigorous fact checks.
