The Texas Tribune is now accepting applications for its paid 2027 spring and summer fellowships. We’re looking for creative, highly motivated students or recent graduates to join Texas’ premier digital news organization. Our nonprofit newsroom provides robust, nonpartisan coverage of Texas politics and public policy in a variety of formats — from breaking social videos and in-depth enterprise articles to searchable databases and editorial events.
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. And not just in reporting, photojournalism or data journalism. Non-journalism fellows are critical to ensuring we can continue to serve Texans with factual, nonpartisan news.
Spring fellowships are part-time, run January to May and are for currently enrolled community college, undergraduate or graduate students. Summer fellowships are full-time, run June to August and are for currently enrolled students or recent graduates.
Job Description
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.
