The Chauncey Bailey Journalist of Color Investigative Reporting Fellowship

This yearlong program is intended to prepare and support a journalist of color for a solid career in investigative reporting. It provides assistance to attend multiple IRE trainings, including a Data Journalism Bootcamp, the NICAR Conference, the IRE Conference and much more.

Established in 2019, the Chauncey Bailey Journalist of Color Investigative Reporting Fellowship supports journalists of color interested in investigative journalism. Over the course of the year, fellows receive IRE training, mentorship, data services and support — with the goal of producing an investigative reporting project to help their community. The program also provides an opportunity for the fellow’s news outlet to benefit from their investigative skill-building.

An underlying goal of the program is to increase the range of backgrounds, experiences and interests within the field of investigative journalism, where diverse perspectives are critically important. Journalists globally can apply but their work has to be for a U.S.-based audience.
