Opportunities: 2008 Paid Summer Fellowships in Journalism & Strategic Communications
The Israel Project (TIP) Media Fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students as well as recent college or graduate school alumni who are starting their careers in journalism or strategic communications/Israel advocacy (please note that undergraduate students must have completed at least two years of college/university to be eligible for consideration). TIP teaches techniques designed to increase accurate and fair coverage of Israel and Jews in the American and global news media. Throughout the summer, Fellows meet with top-level journalists, Middle East analysts and strategic communications professionals. They also put their knowledge to use in writing assignments, many of which are published during the fellowship; staff and plan TIP press conferences and briefings; and undertake in-depth research projects. Additionally, Fellows become skilled at building relationships with journalists, providing them key information and researching complex topics. TIP's Media Fellows learn directly from the research conducted by our top team including TIP Founder Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi and world-renowned pollsters Frank Luntz, Ph.D., Stan Greenberg, Ph.D. and Neil Newhouse. Each Media Fellow receives a $2,500 stipend; limited additional need-based scholarships available. Past Media Fellows have gone on to work at major media outlets such as The Washington Post and the Associated Press; lobbying, advocacy and public relations organizations, including Ketchum, AIPAC, the Britain Israel Communications & Research Centre (BICOM) and TIP; and prestigious internships with Congress and the White House.
The Israel Project's Media Fellowship is made possible by The Andrew H. and Ann R. Tisch Foundation; The Daron and Ron Barness Family Foundation; The Solelim Fund; The Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation; The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies; and The David and Inez Myers Foundation.
