The Starling Lab: Fellowship

The Journalism Fellowship at Starling Lab, a research center anchored at Stanford’s School of Engineering and USC’s Shoah Foundation, is harnessing the power of cutting-edge authentication technology and decentralized web protocols to bridge the conversation between journalists and technologists.

The Starling Lab invites the submission of proposals for investigative and accountability reporting projects in the United States and around the world that break ground on the problem of mis/disinformation and data integrity. They welcome bold ideas for how technology can strengthen authenticity in reporting, enrich crucial context, and press for accountability. They incubate specific stories pursued by journalists in the field, as well as newsroom-wide tech projects.

Fellows will work on individual projects and find common ground with a shared commitment to combating mis/disinformation, bolstering trust in journalism, and strengthening democracy.

Starling reporting grants range from $5,000 to $20,000. All applicants must submit a budget proposal that covers time and expenses.
