Fellows

Policy & Media Fellowships Workforce Development Program



Our Fellowship Program offers paid positions for students and recent graduates to work directly to support the social justice mission of NHMC. These positions are designed for individuals at a range of levels and include professional development, technical training, and mentorship.

Fellows' work focuses on various areas, including telecommunications policy, media advocacy, communications, and more. We have established a successful pipeline, where former fellows have proceeded to work for NHMC, the FCC, congressional offices, other agencies, and media companies.

Your partnership can be directed toward a specific element of the research/organizational process (combating online hate, increasing Latinx representation), a particular pillar of our research agenda (e.g., research into digital equity or net neutrality), or can be designed to fund a general position where the Fellow follows their intellectual passions and professional pathways.
