Journalists covering science who are interested in digital media projects can apply for this fellowship.

The Knight Science Journalism program at MIT has announced its new KSJ Project Fellowship, to add to its traditional 12-person study fellowship. This new program is intended to produce a publishable product.

The proposed projects should combine in some way science journalism and digital media. The product at the end of the year should be something tangible such as a video, audio, a digital piece or written work if the subject includes or can be published in some digital form. Collaborations with news organizations are strongly encouraged.

The requirements of the fellowship will be to work at least partly in Cambridge, to attend some seminars of the Knight Fellowship, and to present updates on the project to the director and the other Knight fellows. The final project should be completed by May 30, 2014.

The length of the fellowship is up to nine months starting in August 2013. A stipend based on the proposed project, project expenses and the length of the project will be determined once the project is chosen.

The deadline is April 15.
