Journalism Contests
The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism
September 30, 2022
_
Do you -- or a reporter you know -- have a great idea for high-impact investigative or enterprise story that "Follows the Money," but few resources to take it on?
If so, the McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, would like to hear from you. The Fellowships provide experienced journalists with the funds and editorial support needed to produce high-impact stories on critical issues related to the US economy, business or finance.
The upcoming deadline to apply is September 30, 2022 – please note that this is a change from our earlier announced fall deadline.
- Each Fellow receives a grant of up to $15,000
- Fellowships are open to both freelance and staff journalists with at least five years professional journalism experience
- Applications accepted from both reporters and editors
- Applications in any type of media — print, audio, video and digital — will be considered
Previous McGraw Fellows have explored a wide variety of topics — and you don’t need to be a business reporter to apply. Many have been generalists, or follow beats such as health care or the environment. Others have focused on issues such as economic justice or corporate accountability. Here are some examples of their work:
- Child labor in the palm oil industry linked to Girl Scout cookies Associated Press
- Pandemic, Prosecutions Aside, Bribery Persists in Chinese Hospitals 100Reporters
- Hurricane fallout creates financial ruin for Puerto Rico seniors with reverse mortgages USA Today and Centro de Periodismo Investigativo
- Several years into BP settlement spending, the bulk of Mississippi’s restoration work remains undone Mississippi Today
- Company insiders are selling stock during buybacks & making additional profits when prices jump. And it’s legal. Washington Post
- Two Nations, One Aquifer: A Series About Water at the Border Albuquerque Journal
- How the Norcross Political Machine Muscled In On Prime Real Estate in New Jersey’s Poorest City WNYC & ProPublica
- When baby is due, genetic counselors seen downplaying false alarms Boston Globe and New England Center for Investigative Reporting
- New Workers of the World: Capturing the voices of workers facing unprecedented change Bloomberg Businessweek
If you’d like to join them, you’ll find more information, an FAQ, and the application at www.mcgrawcenter.org. If you have further questions, you can contact us at mcgrawcenter@journalism.cuny.edu. Applications are accepted twice a year. Fall 2021 Fellowships are due September 30, 2021. Spring 2022 applications will be due March 31, 2022.
The McGraw Center for Business Journalism was established at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY in 2014 by the family of the late Harold W. McGraw, Jr., former chairman and CEO of McGraw-Hill and long-time publisher of BusinessWeek magazine. The Center is dedicated to enhancing the depth and quality of business and economic news coverage through training, student scholarships and support for veteran journalists.
The Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in midtown Manhattan is the only publicly supported graduate journalism school in the Northeast. Led by Dean Sarah Bartlett, the School offers three 16 month Master’s degree programs: an M.A. in Journalism, Spanish Language Journalism, or Social Journalism.
