Spring + Summer Events Fellowship - The Texas Tribune
The Texas Tribune is hiring for its 2026 fellowships. We are looking for creative, high-potential talent to join our trailblazing digital news organization.
We seek fellows to join our events team to help coordinate, promote and execute some of the Tribune’s 40+ annual events, including the annual Texas Tribune Festival.
Events fellows are responsible for crafting event listings, devising and executing event promotional strategies, and managing event production tasks. We want creative self-starters who are reliable, quick on their feet and comfortable managing multiple projects at once.

How to apply

The Tribune is the state’s premier digital-first news organization, providing in-depth, nonpartisan coverage of Texas politics and public policy. Our nonprofit newsroom covers a wide range of topics, such as public and higher education, health, immigration, politics and the environment. In addition to investigative reports, we produce robust journalism in a variety of formats — from data visualizations and searchable databases to explanatory guides and editorial events — all designed to bring greater transparency and accountability to public policy and government.
Tribune fellowships are paid positions for currently enrolled college students who work part-time in the spring and fall and who are full-time in the summer. Recent graduates are eligible for the summer program, but spring and fall fellows must be enrolled as community college, undergraduate or graduate students while they work at the Tribune.
Tribune fellowships are available to those seeking experience in the following fields: audience engagement, data visualization, engineering, events, marketing and communications, nonprofit resource development, photography, product development, graphic design, and reporting.
Why join our fellowship program?
Our fellows don't just observe — they contribute directly to our mission.
Non-journalism fellows are critical to ensuring we can continue to serve Texans with factual, nonpartisan news. We’re looking for college students eager to put their classroom lessons into practice and launch their careers while working toward a more engaged, better-informed, more civically aware Texas.
The Tribune’s newsroom fellowships offer practical experience in public service journalism. You'll work alongside our award-winning staff to produce meaningful, fact-driven work that informs Texans and holds power accountable. This isn’t just an internship — it’s a chance to have a real impact.
