Upcoming Events:

* Sign Up Now for Our Upcoming " Investigating Health Care " Conference, co-sponsored with IRE!
* Join us for an Annenberg Reception at Unity Highlighting the Health Journalism Fellowships   

USC Annenberg / The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships offer journalists a chance to step away from the newsroom to hone health reporting skills. In intimate workshops, field trips and discussions, fellows learn from the country’s most respected health and medical experts, from top journalists in the field and from each other.

Our program focuses on content and craft. At a time when immigration is transforming not just California, but the nation as a whole, the Fellowships encourage journalists to chronicle and illuminate the health challenges of an increasingly diverse and polyglot nation. Seminars highlight great story-telling techniques and provide tips for old-fashioned street reporting. We discuss strategies for multimedia storytelling throughout and bring in nationally renowned journalists and health experts to discuss the latest trends.

The fellowships are funded by a generous grant from The California Endowment and offered by USC’s Annenberg School for Communication.

The all-expenses-paid program is open to all journalists with a passion for health reporting – not just those on the health beat. The Fellowships invite participation from print, broadcast and multimedia journalists working for mainstream and ethnic media. The program also encourages formal and informal cooperation among general circulation, online and ethnic media journalists. To encourage closer collaboration within fellows’ newsrooms, the program also strongly encourages assigning editors and producers to join the fellows for a special fellowship project workshop, at our expense.
